Linear inequality system solutions. Game on.

Linear inequality system solutions is a grade 9 math skill aligned to Common Core standard HSA.REI.D.12: graph the solutions to a linear inequality in two variables as a half-plane, and graph the solution set to a system of linear inequalities as the intersection of half-planes. Below are 8 practice questions with answers and step-by-step explanations, drawn from the 10 linear inequality system solutions problems our math games drill.

Substitute y=8y = 8. From y≥2x+1y \ge 2x + 1, 8≥2x+18 \ge 2x + 1, so x≤72x \le \dfrac{7}{2}. From y≤x+9y \le x + 9, 8≤x+98 \le x + 9, so x≥−1x \ge -1. The value x=2x = 2 satisfies both inequalities.
