9. HATS Bill has h hats. If he buys 8 more hats, then multiplies his total by 3 he would still have fewer hats than
Jim. Jim has 45 hats. Write and solve an inequality that represents this situation. How many hats does Bill
have?
Inequality: [ Ⓐ 3 Ⓑ 5 Ⓒ 8 ] ([ Ⓐ h – 8 Ⓑ h + 8 Ⓒ 8h ]) [ Ⓐ < Ⓑ > ] 45

Ⓑ –2(t – 2) + 6t ≤ 6(t + 3) + 2
Ⓒ –5(t + 4) + 6t + 20 > –8
Ⓓ 5(t + 1) – 20 ≥ –25
Ⓔ 2t – 7 ≥ 3t – 4 + 6
11. True or false: The value 5 is a solution of x > –4. However, 5 is not a solution of x < 1. Therefore, 5 is not a
solution of –4 < x < 1.

20. The solution set of 5x – 2y > 9 is graphed on a coordinate plane. Complete each statement about the graph so
that they are true.
The test point (0, 0) [ Ⓐ is Ⓑ is not ] a solution of the inequality, so the half-plane that [ Ⓐ does Ⓑ does not ]
contain this point will be shaded.
The boundary will be a [ Ⓐ dashed Ⓑ solid ] line through (1, [ Ⓐ 0 Ⓑ –2 Ⓒ 4 ]) and ([ Ⓐ 3 Ⓑ 2 Ⓒ 0 ], 3).
