One-Step Inequalities

Front

What is an inequality?

Back

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

Front

What does the symbol '≤' mean?

Back

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

Front

What does the symbol '≥' mean?

Back

'≥' means 'greater than or equal to'. It indicates that a value can be greater than or equal to another value.

Front

How do you solve the inequality h - 2.7 ≤ 7?

Back

Add 2.7 to both sides: h ≤ 9.7.

Front

What is the solution set for x < 8?

Back

The solution set includes all numbers less than 8, such as 7.9, 7.8, 5.9, etc.

Front

Which of the following is NOT a solution to x < 8: -6, -5.3, -4, -4.1?

Back

-4 is NOT a solution because it is not less than 8.

Front

What is the maximum score on the pilot's test represented as an inequality?

Back

The maximum score of 95 points can be represented as p ≤ 95.

Front

If x > 3, what are two possible solutions?

Back

Possible solutions include 4 and 5.

Front

What does it mean if a number is in the solution set of an inequality?

Back

It means that the number satisfies the inequality and makes it true.

Front

How can you represent the inequality 'x is at least 5'?

Back

'x ≥ 5' represents that x can be 5 or any number greater than 5.
