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?

Back

The symbol '<' means 'less than'.

Front

What does the symbol '>' mean?

Back

The symbol '>' means 'greater than'.

How do you solve the inequality 26 < p + 28?

Back

Subtract 28 from both sides to get p > -2.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality x + 9 > 21 when x = 15?

Back

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

Front

What is the solution to the equation 18 + n = 31?

Back

n = 13, because 31 - 18 = 13.

Front

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

Back

Add 4 to both sides to get y < -4.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality 5m < -10?

Back

Divide both sides by 5 to get m < -2.

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

What is the first step in solving a one-step inequality?

Back

Identify the operation being performed and then perform the inverse operation.
