What this unit covers
A Linear Inequalities in One Variable · 3 lessons
Goals
- Use a related equation to solve an inequality in one variable.
- Write and solve inequalities in one variable to represent the constraints in situations and to solve problems.
Lessons

B Linear Inequalities in Two Variables · 3 lessons
Goals
- Understand that a constraint on two variables can be represented by an inequality, a graph (a half-plane), and a verbal description.
- Write inequalities in two variables to represent the constraints in a situation, and use technology to graph the solution set to answer questions about the situation.

C Systems of Linear Inequalities in Two Variables · 3 lessons
Goals
- Given a system of inequalities and their graphs, explain how to tell if a pair of values is a solution to the system.
- Understand that the solution set of a system of inequalities in two variables is composed of any pair of values that make both inequalities true, and that it is represented graphically by the region where the graphs overlap.
