One Step Inequality Practice

Front

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 'greater than'. For example, 5 > 3 means 5 is greater than 3.

Front

What does the symbol '<' mean?

Back

The symbol '<' means 'less than'. For example, 2 < 4 means 2 is less than 4.

Front

What does the symbol '≥' mean?

Back

The symbol '≥' means 'greater than or equal to'. For example, x ≥ 5 means x is greater than or equal to 5.

Front

What does the symbol '≤' mean?

Back

The symbol '≤' means 'less than or equal to'. For example, y ≤ 10 means y is less than or equal to 10.

Front

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

Back

Subtract 5 from both sides: x > 2.

Front

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

Back

Add 14 to both sides: r ≥ 31.

Front

How do you solve the inequality 8x < 48?

Back

Divide both sides by 8: x < 6.

Front

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

Back

Add 4 to both sides: y < -4.

Front

How do you solve the inequality -8x < 48?

Back

Divide both sides by -8 (remember to flip the inequality): x > -6.
