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'. It indicates that a value can be either greater than or equal to a specified number.

Front

Write an inequality for the statement: You must be at least 48 inches tall to ride the bumper cars.

Back

h ≥ 48

Front

What does the symbol '≤' mean?

Back

'≤' means 'less than or equal to'. It indicates that a value can be either less than or equal to a specified number.

Front

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

Back

r ≥ 31

Front

Write an inequality for the statement: Swim practice will be no more than 35 laps.

Back

p ≤ 35

Front

What is the solution to the inequality: 8x < 48?

Back

x < 6

Front

How do you solve the inequality: 3x + 5 > 14?

Back

Subtract 5 from both sides: 3x > 9, then divide by 3: x > 3.

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 difference between '>' and '≥'?

Back

'>' means greater than, while '≥' means greater than or equal to.
