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 or equal to'.

Front

What does the symbol '≥' mean?

Back

The symbol '≥' means 'greater than or equal to'.

Front

How do you solve the inequality y + 7 ≥ 12?

Back

Subtract 7 from both sides: y ≥ 5.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality 7x > 21 when x = 4?

Back

True, because 7 * 4 = 28, which is greater than 21.

Front

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

Back

n = 31 - 18, so n = 13.

Front

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

Back

This means f must be greater than 94, so f > 94.

Front

What does it mean if an inequality has no solution?

Back

It means there are no values that can satisfy the inequality.

Front

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

Back

Identify the operation being performed and perform the inverse operation.

Front

What is the difference between '>' and '≥'?

Back

'>' means greater than, while '≥' means greater than or equal to.
