What is an inequality?

Back

An inequality is a mathematical statement that compares two expressions using symbols such as <, >, ≤, or ≥.

Front

What does the symbol '<' mean?

Back

The symbol '<' means 'less than'. It indicates that the value on the left is smaller than the value on the right.

Front

What does the symbol '>' mean?

Back

The symbol '>' means 'greater than'. It indicates that the value on the left is larger than the value on the right.

Front

How do you solve the inequality -4 + y < -8?

Back

Add 4 to both sides: y < -4.

Front

What does the symbol '≤' mean?

Back

The symbol '≤' means 'less than or equal to'. It indicates that the value on the left is either smaller than or equal to the value on the right.

Front

How do you solve the inequality 24 ≤ h + 15?

Back

Subtract 15 from both sides: h ≥ 9.

Front

What does the symbol '≥' mean?

Back

The symbol '≥' means 'greater than or equal to'. It indicates that the value on the left is either larger than or equal to the value on the right.

Front

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

Back

Add 10 to both sides: y > 24.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality 25 < X - 10?

Back

Add 10 to both sides: X > 35.

Front

How do you solve the inequality x + 5 > 7?

Back

Subtract 5 from both sides: x > 2.
