Front

What does the symbol '≥' mean?

Back

It means 'greater than or equal to'.

Front

How do you solve the inequality 7k - 2 ≥ -9?

Back

Add 2 to both sides to get 7k ≥ -7, then divide by 7 to find k ≥ -1.

Front

When graphing an inequality, what does an open dot represent?

Back

An open dot is used for inequalities with '<' or '>'.

Front

Solve the inequality -3x - 4 < 5.

Back

Add 4 to both sides to get -3x < 9, then divide by -3 (remember to flip the inequality) to find x > -3.

Front

What are the steps to solve the equation 5b - 6 = 24?

Back

Add 6 to both sides to get 5b = 30, then divide both sides by 5 to find b = 6.

Front

What does the symbol '<' mean?

Back

It means 'less than'.

Front

What does the symbol '>' mean?

Back

It means 'greater than'.

Front

What is the first step in solving the inequality 2x + 3 < 11?

Back

Subtract 3 from both sides to get 2x < 8.

Front

How do you represent the solution to the inequality x + 4 > 10?

Back

Subtract 4 from both sides to find x > 6.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality 4x - 1 ≤ 3?

Back

Add 1 to both sides to get 4x ≤ 4, then divide by 4 to find x ≤ 1.
