One step inequality

Front

What is an inequality?

Back

An inequality is a mathematical statement that compares two expressions and shows that one is greater than, less than, greater than or equal to, or less than or equal to the other.

Front

What does the symbol '≥' represent in inequalities?

Back

The symbol '≥' means 'greater than or equal to'.

How do you solve the inequality 10 ≥ x - 3?

Back

To solve 10 ≥ x - 3, add 3 to both sides to get 13 ≥ x, which can be rewritten as x ≤ 13.

Front

What does the solution n > -60 represent in the inequality (n/3) > -20?

Back

It means that n can take any value greater than -60.

Front

What does the inequality 11 ≤ a indicate about the value of a?

Back

It indicates that a can be 11 or any value greater than 11.

Front

How do you express 'fewer than 20 students attended activity night' as an inequality?

Back

This can be expressed as x < 20, where x represents the number of students.

Front

What is the first step to solve the inequality m - 9 ≤ 20?

Back

The first step is to add 9 to both sides of the inequality.

Front

What is the difference between strict and non-strict inequalities?

Back

Strict inequalities (<, >) do not include the boundary value, while non-strict inequalities (≤, ≥) do include the boundary value.

Front

How can you graph the inequality x ≤ 13 on a number line?

Back

You would draw a solid dot on 13 and shade to the left to indicate all values less than or equal to 13.

Front

What does the solution x < 20 imply about the possible values of x?

Back

It implies that x can be any value less than 20.
