8th Grade Inequalities with Variables on Both Sides Worksheets

Ages 13-14 · Free previews · Print-ready PDFs

Written by Adi Ackerman, Head Teacher

An inequality with variables on both sides has an x term left and right of the sign, so the first step is to collect the x terms on one side. There are 10 sheets for 8th grade here, each with an answer key and a worked example. Inequalities With Variables on Both Sides opens with 6x − 1 > 2x + 31, Always, Never or Sometimes True has students decide when every value or no value works, and Decimal Inequality Word Problems compares bike rentals, plumbers and burning candles. A riddle and a maze close the set.

Frequently Asked Questions

Subtract one x term from both sides so x is on only one side, then solve the two-step inequality left. For 6x − 1 > 2x + 31, subtract 2x to get 4x − 1 > 31, so 4x > 32 and x > 8.
