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.
