One step inequalities- words and graphs

Front

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

The symbol '<' means 'less than'. For example, x < 5 means x is any number less than 5.

Front

What does the symbol '>' mean?

Back

The symbol '>' means 'greater than'. For example, y > 3 means y is any number greater than 3.

Front

What does the symbol '≤' mean?

Back

The symbol '≤' means 'less than or equal to'. For example, a ≤ 10 means a is any number less than or equal to 10.

Front

What does the symbol '≥' mean?

Back

The symbol '≥' means 'greater than or equal to'. For example, b ≥ -2 means b is any number greater than or equal to -2.

Front

How do you solve the inequality x + 3 < 10?

Back

Subtract 3 from both sides: x < 7.

Front

Is 4 a solution to the inequality x < 6?

Back

Yes, because 4 is less than 6.

Front

Is 10 a solution to the inequality y ≥ 8?

Back

Yes, because 10 is greater than 8.

Front

Write the inequality for: 'A number n is at most 5.'

Back

n ≤ 5.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality 2x - 4 ≤ 6?

Back

Add 4 to both sides: 2x ≤ 10, then divide by 2: x ≤ 5.
