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?

Back

'≥' means 'greater than or equal to'.

Front

What does the symbol '≤' mean?

Back

'≤' means 'less than or equal to'.

Front

How do you solve the inequality x + 3 < 10?

Back

Subtract 3 from both sides: x < 7.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality r - 14 ≥ 17?

Back

Add 14 to both sides: r ≥ 31.

Front

What does the inequality p ≤ 35 represent?

Back

It means that p can be any number less than or equal to 35.

Front

How do you graph the inequality 11 ≤ a?

Back

Draw a number line, put a closed circle on 11, and shade to the right.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality x - 5 > 2?

Back

Add 5 to both sides: x > 7.

Front

What does the inequality x < -3 mean?

Back

It means that x can be any number less than -3.

Front

How do you solve the inequality 2x ≥ 10?

Back

Divide both sides by 2: x ≥ 5.
