CCSS 7.EE.B.4b · solve, graph & interpret inequalities

Solve and Graph Inequalities Worksheet Generator

Practice the full 7.EE.B.4b job rather than stopping at an algebraic answer. Problems solve a one-variable inequality, graph the solution set with an open boundary point, and interpret the allowed values; challenge mode can require reversing the sign after division by a negative coefficient.

2.

A fundraiser starts with $17 and earns $7 per sale. To raise more than $101, what values of x are possible? Write, solve, graph, and interpret the inequality.

Construction rule: equations are built around known exact solutions, expression rewrites use exact rational arithmetic, 7.EE.3 money stays in integer cents, and inequality answer graphs are withheld until answers are revealed.
Teaching note 1

A strict < or > inequality uses an open circle because the boundary value is not included.

Teaching note 2

Dividing or multiplying both sides by a negative number reverses the inequality sign.

Teaching note 3

In context, translate the graph back into the units of the problem instead of reporting only x < a or x > a.

Frequently asked questions

Do the worksheets include number-line graphs?

Yes. Student versions include a clean number line for graphing; the checked view and answer key add the exact open-circle boundary and solution ray as vector graphics.

Why only open circles?

The focused Grade 7 standard names inequalities of the forms px + q > r and px + q < r, so this generator stays with strict inequalities.
