What is an inequality?

Back

An inequality is a mathematical statement that shows the relationship between two expressions that are not equal, using symbols such as <, >, ≤, or ≥.

How do you represent a real-life scenario with an inequality?

Back

You identify the quantities involved, determine the relationship between them, and express it using an inequality symbol.

What does the symbol '≥' mean in an inequality?

Back

The symbol '≥' means 'greater than or equal to', indicating that the value on the left is either greater than or equal to the value on the right.

How do you solve the inequality 500 - 25x ≥ 200?

Back

To solve, subtract 500 from both sides: -25x ≥ -300. Then divide by -25 (remember to flip the inequality): x ≤ 12.

How do you find the maximum number of hours a DJ can play if the total cost must be under $600?

Back

Set up the inequality 125x + 55 < 600 and solve for x.

What is the relationship between the price of a jacket and a skirt in the inequality 3x + 20 ≤ 120?

Back

The price of the jacket is $20 more than three times the price of the skirt.

How do you interpret the inequality 1.50x + 10 ≤ 40 in a real-life context?

Back

It represents the total amount Daniel can spend at the fair, where 10 is the admission cost and 1.50x is the cost of rides.

What is the significance of the constant term in an inequality?

Back

The constant term represents fixed costs or values that do not change, which can affect the overall relationship expressed by the inequality.
