Solving One Step Inequalities

Front

What does the inequality symbol ≥ mean?

Back

It means 'greater than or equal to'. For example, x ≥ 45 means x can be 45 or any number greater than 45.

Front

How do you solve the inequality 126 < f + 32?

Back

Subtract 32 from both sides: 126 - 32 < f, which simplifies to f > 94.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality 14 > y - 10?

Back

Add 10 to both sides: 14 + 10 > y, which simplifies to y < 24.

Front

Does the value x = 4 satisfy the inequality 7x > 21?

Back

Yes, because 7 * 4 = 28, and 28 > 21.

Front

What does the inequality symbol < mean?

Back

It means 'less than'. For example, x < 45 means x can be any number less than 45.

Front

How do you express 'at least 45' in inequality form?

Back

It is expressed as x ≥ 45.

Front

What is the first step in solving the inequality 3x < 12?

Back

Divide both sides by 3: x < 4.

Front

If 5x + 10 > 30, what is the first step to solve for x?

Back

Subtract 10 from both sides: 5x > 20.

Front

What does the inequality symbol > mean?

Back

It means 'greater than'. For example, x > 45 means x can be any number greater than 45.

Front

How do you solve the inequality -2x > 6?

Back

Divide both sides by -2, and remember to flip the inequality sign: x < -3.
