  1. Read the Problem Carefully: Understand what is being asked and identify the relevant information.
  2. Identify Variables and Constants: Determine what quantities are unknown (variables) and what quantities are given (constants).
  3. Translate the Problem into an Inequality: Use the given information to set up an inequality.
  4. Solve the Inequality: Perform the necessary algebraic operations to isolate the variable and find the solution.
  5. Interpret the Solution: Relate the solution back to the context of the problem.
