Front

What does the symbol '<' mean?

Back

The symbol '<' means 'less than'.

Front

What does the symbol '>' mean?

Back

The symbol '>' means 'greater than'.

Front

How do you solve the inequality -8x < 48?

Back

Divide both sides by -8 and reverse the inequality sign: x > -6.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality 15 > -5 + z?

Back

The solution is z < 20.

Front

How do you isolate the variable in the inequality m - 9 ≤ 20?

Back

Add 9 to both sides: m ≤ 29.

Front

What does the inequality x + 5 > 7 represent?

Back

It represents that x must be greater than 2.

Front

What is the first step to solve the inequality 3x + 4 < 10?

Back

Subtract 4 from both sides: 3x < 6.

Front

What happens to the inequality sign when you multiply or divide by a negative number?

Back

The inequality sign reverses.

Front

What is the solution set for the inequality x - 3 ≥ 5?

Back

The solution set is x ≥ 8.
