Solving 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

The symbol '<' means 'less than'. For example, 3 < 5 means 3 is less than 5.

Front

What does the symbol '>' mean?

Back

The symbol '>' means 'greater than'. For example, 7 > 4 means 7 is greater than 4.

Front

How do you solve the inequality -5m < 10?

Back

Divide both sides by -5 and reverse the inequality sign: m > -2.

Front

What does the symbol '≤' mean?

Back

The symbol '≤' means 'less than or equal to'. For example, x ≤ 3 means x is less than or equal to 3.

Front

What does the symbol '≥' mean?

Back

The symbol '≥' means 'greater than or equal to'. For example, y ≥ 2 means y is greater than or equal to 2.

Front

How do you solve the inequality -24 + k ≤ 10?

Back

Add 24 to both sides: k ≤ 34.

Front

How do you solve the inequality y - 13 ≤ -15?

Back

Add 13 to both sides: y ≤ -2.

Front

How do you solve the inequality 8x < 48?

Back

Divide both sides by 8: x < 6.

Front

What is the solution set for the inequality m > -2?

Back

The solution set includes all numbers greater than -2.
