Solving 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

The symbol '<' means 'less than'. For example, x < 5 means x is less than 5.

Front

What does the symbol '>' mean?

Back

The symbol '>' means 'greater than'. For example, x > 3 means x is greater than 3.

Front

How do you solve the inequality 8x < 48?

Back

Divide both sides by 8: x < 6.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality z ≤ 9?

Back

The solution includes all values of z that are less than or equal to 9.

Front

Which number makes the inequality x < 18 true?

Back

Any number less than 18, for example, 13.

Front

How do you solve the inequality 5x > 25?

Back

Divide both sides by 5: x > 5.

Front

What does the solution x < 6 represent?

Back

It represents all numbers less than 6.

Front

What is the difference between '≤' and '<'?

Back

'≤' means 'less than or equal to', while '<' means 'less than' only.

Front

What is the solution set for the inequality x > 0?

Back

The solution set includes all positive numbers.
