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

'≥' means 'greater than or equal to'.

Front

What does the symbol '≤' mean?

Back

'≤' means 'less than or equal to'.

Front

How do you solve an inequality?

Back

To solve an inequality, use inverse operations to isolate the variable, similar to solving equations.

Front

What is the difference between an open dot and a closed dot on a graph?

Back

An open dot indicates that the boundary is NOT included in the solution (< or >), while a closed dot indicates that the boundary IS included (≤ or ≥).

Front

Solve the inequality: x + 5 < 10

Back

x < 5

Front

Solve the inequality: 3y - 4 ≥ 5

Back

y ≥ 3

Front

What is the solution to the inequality: -2x < 6?

Back

x > -3

Front

If 7 - a > 2, what is the value of a?

Back

a < 5

Front

What does it mean to graph an inequality?

Back

Graphing an inequality means representing the solution set on a number line, showing all possible values that satisfy the inequality.
