One Step Inequalities

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

'≥' means 'greater than or equal to'.

Front

What does the symbol '≤' mean?

Back

'≤' means 'less than or equal to'.

Front

How do you solve the inequality 5w ≥ 30?

Back

Divide both sides by 5: w ≥ 6.

Front

What is the solution set for the inequality x < 3?

Back

The solution set includes all numbers less than 3.

Front

How do you represent the solution to the inequality x > -2 on a number line?

Back

Draw an open circle at -2 and shade to the right.

Front

What does an open circle on a number line indicate?

Back

An open circle indicates that the number is not included in the solution.

Front

What does a closed circle on a number line indicate?

Back

A closed circle indicates that the number is included in the solution.

Front

How do you graph the inequality 2.75 < d?

Back

Draw an open circle at 2.75 and shade to the right.

Front

What is the difference between strict and non-strict inequalities?

Back

Strict inequalities (<, >) do not include the boundary, while non-strict inequalities (≤, ≥) do.
