1. **Understanding Linear Inequalities:**
Linear inequalities are like equations but instead of an equals sign, they use inequality signs such as $<$, $>$, $\leq$, or $\geq$.
The goal is to find all values of the variable that make the inequality true.
**Key rules:**
- You can add or subtract the same number on both sides without changing the inequality.
- You can multiply or divide both sides by a positive number without changing the inequality.
- If you multiply or divide both sides by a negative number, you must reverse the inequality sign.
2. **Representing inequalities on a number line:**
- Use an open circle for $<$ or $>$ (not including the number).
- Use a closed circle for $\leq$ or $\geq$ (including the number).
- Shade the line to the left for $<$ or $\leq$.
- Shade the line to the right for $>$ or $\geq$.
3. **Solving example inequalities from your list:**
**Part 2a: $3 < b < 33$**
- This means $b$ is greater than 3 and less than 33.
- The integers satisfying this are all whole numbers between 4 and 32.
- So, $b = 4, 5, 6, ..., 32$.
**Part 2b: $7 < h \leq 19$**
- $h$ is greater than 7 and less than or equal to 19.
- Integers are $8, 9, 10, ..., 19$.
**Part 2c: $18 \leq e \leq 27$**
- $e$ is between 18 and 27, including both.
- Integers: $18, 19, ..., 27$.
**Part 2d: $-3 \leq f < 0$**
- $f$ is greater than or equal to -3 and less than 0.
- Integers: $-3, -2, -1$.
**Part 2e: $-3 \leq f \leq 0$**
- $f$ is between -3 and 0, including both.
- Integers: $-3, -2, -1, 0$.
**Part 2f: $2.5 < m < 11.3$**
- $m$ is greater than 2.5 and less than 11.3.
- Integers: $3, 4, 5, ..., 11$.
**Part 2g: $-7 < g \leq -4$**
- $g$ is greater than -7 and less than or equal to -4.
- Integers: $-6, -5, -4$.
**Part 2h: $\pi < r < 2\pi$**
- Approximate $\pi \approx 3.14$, $2\pi \approx 6.28$.
- Integers between 3.14 and 6.28 are $4, 5, 6$.
**Part 2i: $\sqrt{5} < w < \sqrt{18}$**
- Approximate $\sqrt{5} \approx 2.24$, $\sqrt{18} \approx 4.24$.
- Integers: $3, 4$.
**Summary:**
- To solve inequalities, understand the inequality signs and represent the solution on a number line.
- For integer solutions, find all whole numbers within the interval.
