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 7n > 49?

Back

Divide both sides by 7: n > 7.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality z ≤ 9?

Back

The solution includes all values of z that are less than or equal to 9.

Front

How do you graph the inequality h ≥ 9?

Back

Draw a number line, place a closed circle on 9, and shade to the right.

Front

What does it mean to 'solve' an inequality?

Back

To solve an inequality means to find all values of the variable that make the inequality true.

Front

If 24 ≤ h + 15, what is the first step to solve for h?

Back

Subtract 15 from both sides: 24 - 15 ≤ h.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality a ≤ 25?

Back

The solution includes all values of a that are less than or equal to 25.

Front

What does the inequality n > 7 represent?

Back

It represents all values of n that are greater than 7.
