Front

How do you solve the inequality x + 5 > 7?

Back

Subtract 5 from both sides: x > 2.

Front

Write an inequality for: 'You must be at least 48 inches tall to ride the bumper cars.'

Back

h ≥ 48.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality r - 14 ≥ 17?

Back

Add 14 to both sides: r ≥ 31.

Front

What does it mean if a solution to an inequality is 'x < 9'?

Back

It means that x can be any number less than 9.

Front

How do you represent 'no more than 35 laps' in inequality form?

Back

p ≤ 35.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality z ≤ 9?

Back

z can be any number that is less than or equal to 9.
