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

'≤' means 'less than or equal to'. It indicates that a value can be less than or equal to another value.

Front

What does the symbol '≥' mean?

Back

'≥' means 'greater than or equal to'. It indicates that a value can be greater than or equal to another value.

Front

How do you solve the inequality x + 5 ≤ 13?

Back

Subtract 5 from both sides: x ≤ 8.

Front

What does 'at most' mean in terms of inequalities?

Back

'At most' indicates a maximum value, represented by the symbol '≤'.

Front

How do you solve the inequality 10 ≥ x - 3?

Back

Add 3 to both sides: 13 ≥ x, which can be rewritten as x ≤ 13.

Front

What is the solution set for the inequality x < 5?

Back

The solution set includes all numbers less than 5.

Front

What does the term 'solution of an inequality' mean?

Back

A solution of an inequality is any value that makes the inequality true.

Front

If x + 2 > 7, what is the solution for x?

Back

Subtract 2 from both sides: x > 5.

Front

What is the graph of the inequality x ≥ 4?

Back

A closed dot on 4 and a line extending to the right.
