One Step Inequalities

Front

What is an inequality?

Back

An inequality is a mathematical statement that compares two expressions using symbols like >, <, ≥, or ≤.

Front

What does the symbol '>' mean in an inequality?

Back

The symbol '>' means 'greater than'. For example, x > 5 means x is greater than 5.

Front

What does the symbol '<' mean in an inequality?

Back

The symbol '<' means 'less than'. For example, x < 3 means x is less than 3.

Front

How do you solve the inequality x + 5 > 7?

Back

Subtract 5 from both sides: x > 2.

Front

How do you solve the inequality W - 9 > 17?

Back

Add 9 to both sides: W > 26.

Front

How do you solve the inequality 15 + x < 0?

Back

Subtract 15 from both sides: x < -15.

Front

How do you solve the inequality 5x > 45?

Back

Divide both sides by 5: x > 9.

Front

What does it mean to solve an inequality?

Back

To solve an inequality means to find all values of the variable that make the inequality true.

Front

What is the solution set of the inequality 9F > 45?

Back

F > 5, meaning any value greater than 5 will satisfy the inequality.

Front

What is a solution to the inequality x + 5 > 7?

Back

x > 2 is a solution.
