2   Expressions, formulae and equations




                      d  50 ⩽ y < 100
                   5  Match each inequality with the correct number line.
                      Remember that:
                      •  an open circle (○) is for the < inequality

                      •  a closed circle (●) is for the ⩽ inequality.
                      The first one is done for you: A and iii


                        A      2 ⩽ x < 7          i
                                                            1   2    3   4    5   6    7   8

                        B       2 < x < 7         ii
                                                            1   2    3   4    5   6    7   8

                        C      2 < x ⩽ 7          iii
                                                            1   2    3   4    5   6    7   8

                        D      2 ⩽ x ⩽ 7          iv
                                                            1   2    3   4    5   6    7   8



                   Practice

                   6  Copy each number line. Show each inequality on its number line.

                      a  5 < x < 9               4    5   6    7   8    9   10


                      b  12 < x ⩽ 15             11  12   13  14   15  16   17

                      c  −6 < x ⩽ −2             −7  −6   −5  −4   −3  −2 −1

                      d  −1 ⩽ x ⩽ 4              −2  −1   0    1   2    3   4   5


                   7  Write the inequality shown by each number line. Use the letter x.

                      a                                            b
                            24  25   26  27  28   29                     29  30   31  32   33  34  35   36

                      c                                            d
                           −15 −14 −13 −12 −11 −10                      −3  −2   −1   0    1   2   3
