5.4 - One-Step Inequality Review

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 ≥ 4 means x is greater than or equal to 4.

Front

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

Back

The symbol '≤' means 'less than or equal to'. For example, x ≤ 2 means x is less than or equal to 2.

Front

How do you solve the inequality m/7 > -14?

Back

Multiply both sides by 7: m > -98.

Front

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

Back

Divide both sides by -8 (remember to flip the inequality): x > -6.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality y - 13 ≤ -15?

Back

Add 13 to both sides: y ≤ -2.

Front

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

Back

Subtract 5 from both sides: x > 2.

Front

What is the graph of the inequality r ≥ -6?

Back

The graph includes all numbers greater than or equal to -6, represented with a closed dot at -6 and a line extending to the right.
