What is a two-step inequality?

Back

A two-step inequality is an inequality that requires two operations to isolate the variable. It often involves addition or subtraction followed by multiplication or division.

Front

How do you solve the inequality 5x + 3 ≥ 18?

Back

Subtract 3 from both sides: 5x ≥ 15. Then divide by 5: x ≥ 3.

Front

What does the symbol '≥' mean?

Back

The symbol '≥' means 'greater than or equal to'.

Front

How do you solve the inequality 2 - 3x ≤ 20?

Back

Subtract 2 from both sides: -3x ≤ 18. Then divide by -3 (remember to flip the inequality): x ≥ -6.

Front

What does the symbol '>' mean?

Back

The symbol '>' means 'greater than'.

Front

How do you solve the inequality 16 - 4a > 8?

Back

Subtract 16 from both sides: -4a > -8. Then divide by -4 (flip the inequality): a < 2.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality 8 + 4x > 24?

Back

Subtract 8 from both sides: 4x > 16. Then divide by 4: x > 4.

Front

What does the symbol '<' mean?

Back

The symbol '<' means 'less than'.

Front

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

Back

Add 2 to both sides: 7k ≥ -7. Then divide by 7: k ≥ -1.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality 3x + 5 > 10?

Back

Subtract 5 from both sides: 3x > 5. Then divide by 3: x > 5/3.
