What is on this worksheet

Solve one-step inequalities and graph each solution on a number line, with some problems that need the sign flipped when dividing by a negative number.

• Inequalities: One-step (x + 4 > 9)

You can change any of these settings above. Press "New problems" for a fresh set with the same settings, or pick Version A to Z to print different sheets for neighboring desks. The answer key always matches.

About solving and graphing inequalities

Each inequality is solved for x, and the solution is graphed on a number line with an open or closed circle and an arrow. With negative numbers switched on, some problems need the sign flipped when multiplying or dividing by a negative number. Turn off the graph to get twelve or more problems on a page.

The answer key draws the circle and the arrow in blue on every number line. The solved example works through the steps, writes the solution, and graphs it, explaining why the circle is open or closed.
