Purpose of this Digital SAT resource
Linear Inequalities is part of Digital SAT Math. This syllabus resource explains the tested reasoning, a repeatable solution process, a common trap, and a concrete example. The objective is independent transfer: a learner should be able to recognize the skill in new wording and explain why the selected answer follows from the text or mathematics.
Key ideas to understand
- solve and interpret sets of values rather than one value
- use equivalent operations and reverse the inequality when multiplying or dividing by a negative
- Common trap: forgetting to reverse the sign after division by a negative.
- Model example: -2x>8 becomes x8 becomes x
