DOCUMENT(); loadMacros( "PGstandard.pl", "MathObjects.pl", "contextInequalities.pl", "AnswerFormatHelp.pl", ); TEXT(beginproblem());	Initialization: We must load contextInequalities.pl.
Context("Inequalities-Only"); Context()->flags->set(formatStudentAnswer=>'parsed'); $a = random(3,9,1); $ineq = "-$a x \leq 10"; # TeX $answer = Compute("x >= -10 / $a");	Setup: We require students to use inequalities by using Context("Inequalities-Only"). If we had used Context("Inequalities") instead, then students could also enter their answer using interval notation. For more details, please see contextInequalities.pl We use formatStudentAnswer=>'parsed' and Compute() so that the student's answer are left as fractions rather than reduced to decimals.
