Back

'>' means 'greater than'.

Front

How do you solve the inequality y + 7 ≥ 12?

Back

Subtract 7 from both sides: y ≥ 5.

Front

How do you solve the inequality y - 10 > 14?

Back

Add 10 to both sides: y > 24.

Front

How do you solve the inequality 126 < f + 32?

Back

Subtract 32 from both sides: f > 94.

Front

What does it mean if q ≤ 46?

Back

It means that q can be any number less than or equal to 46.

Front

How do you solve the inequality r - 14 ≥ 17?

Back

Add 14 to both sides: r ≥ 31.

Front

What is the solution set for the inequality y ≥ 5?

Back

The solution set includes all numbers greater than or equal to 5.

Front

What is the solution set for the inequality y > 24?

Back

The solution set includes all numbers greater than 24.
