One Step Inequalities

Front

What is an inequality?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

The symbol '>' means 'greater than'. For example, x > 5 means x is greater than 5.

Front

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

Back

The symbol '<' means 'less than'. For example, y < 3 means y is less than 3.

Front

How do you solve the inequality (n/3) > -20?

Back

Multiply both sides by 3: n > -60.

Front

What does it mean if an inequality is true for a given value?

Back

It means that when you substitute the value into the inequality, the statement holds true.

Front

Is x + 9 > 21 true when x = 15?

Back

Yes, because 15 + 9 = 24, which is greater than 21.

Front

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

Back

Add 4 to both sides: y < -4.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality x + 5 > 7?

Back

Subtract 5 from both sides: x > 2.

Front

How do you solve the inequality 8x < 48?

Back

Divide both sides by 8: x < 6.

Front

What is the solution set for the inequality n/3 > -20?

Back

The solution set is all values of n such that n > -60.
