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 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, x < 3 means x is less than 3.

Front

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

Back

The symbol '≥' means 'greater than or equal to'. For example, x ≥ 10 means x is greater than or equal to 10.

Front

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

Back

The symbol '≤' means 'less than or equal to'. For example, x ≤ 4 means x is less than or equal to 4.

Front

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

Back

Divide both sides by -8 and reverse the inequality sign: x > -6.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality x + 5 ≤ 13?

Back

Subtract 5 from both sides: x ≤ 8.

Front

What does the graph of x ≥ -5 look like?

Back

It includes all numbers greater than or equal to -5, represented by a solid dot at -5 and a line extending to the right.

Front

How do you represent 'a student must be at least 15 years old' in inequality form?

Back

x ≥ 15, where x is the age of the student.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality 3x > 12?

Back

Divide both sides by 3: x > 4.
