#### MAT-07.EE.04.b

 7th Grade MAT Targeted StandardsDomain (EE) Expressions and EquationsCluster: Use properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions Use variables to represent quantities in a real-world or mathematical problem, and construct simple equations and inequalities to solve problems by reasoning about the quantities. MAT-07.EE.04.b Solve word problems leading to inequalities of the form px + q > r or px + q < r, where p, q, and r are specific rational numbers. Graph the solution set of the inequality and interpret it in the context of the problem. For example: As a salesperson, you are paid $50 per week plus$3 per sale. This week you want your pay to be at least \$100. Write an inequality for the number of sales you need to make, and describe the solutions.

## Student Learning Targets:

### Knowledge Targets

• I can name the inequality signs.

### Reasoning Targets

• I can write a simple algebraic inequality in the form px+q=r where (p, q, and r) are specific numbers to represent a real-world problem.
• I can interpret the solution set in relation to the problem.

### Skills Domain (Performance) Targets

• I can use inverse operations and the properties of inequality to solve word problems leading to inequalities of the form px + q > r where p, q, and r are specific numbers.
