Back

x > 5

Front

What does a closed dot on a number line indicate?

Back

A closed dot indicates that the number is included in the solution (used for ≤ or ≥).

Front

What does an open dot on a number line indicate?

Back

An open dot indicates that the number is not included in the solution (used for < or >).

Front

How do you solve the inequality 7n > 49?

Back

Divide both sides by 7: n > 7.

Front

How do you solve the inequality y + 7 ≥ 12?

Back

Subtract 7 from both sides: y ≥ 5.

Front

How do you solve the inequality y - 10 > 14?

Back

Add 10 to both sides: y > 24.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality x ≥ -5?

Back

The solution includes all numbers greater than or equal to -5.
