Solving One Step Inequalities

Front

What is an inequality?

Back

An inequality is a mathematical statement that compares two expressions using symbols like >, <, ≥, or ≤.

Front

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

Back

The symbol '>' means 'greater than'.

Front

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

Back

The symbol '<' means 'less than'.

Front

How do you solve the inequality y / -8 > 2?

Back

Multiply both sides by -8, remembering to reverse the inequality: y < -16.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality 7n > 49?

Back

Divide both sides by 7: n > 7.

Front

How do you solve the inequality -4p < 36?

Back

Divide both sides by -4, reversing the inequality: p > -9.

Front

What does the inequality x - 4 ≤ 6 represent?

Back

It represents that x can be any number less than or equal to 10.

Front

How do you solve the inequality y - 10 > 14?

Back

Add 10 to both sides: y > 24.

Front

What is the difference between strict and non-strict inequalities?

Back

Strict inequalities use '>' or '<', while non-strict inequalities use '≥' or '≤'.

Front

What happens to the inequality sign when you multiply or divide by a negative number?

Back

The inequality sign reverses direction.
