Front

How do you solve the inequality 12 ≥ 6w?

Back

Divide both sides by 6: w ≤ 2.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality -8x < 48?

Back

x > -6.

Front

How do you isolate x in the inequality x + 5 > 7?

Back

Subtract 5 from both sides: x > 2.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality y - 13 ≤ -15?

Back

y ≤ -2.

Front

How do you solve the inequality 8x < 48?

Back

Divide both sides by 8: x < 6.

Front

What is the first step in solving an inequality?

Back

Identify the variable and isolate it on one side of the inequality.

Front

What does it mean if x < 5?

Back

It means that x can be any number less than 5.
