One Step Inequalities

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

'>' means 'greater than'. For example, x > 5 means x is any number greater than 5.

'<'' means 'less than'. For example, x < 3 means x is any number less than 3.

'≥' means 'greater than or equal to'. For example, x ≥ 4 means x is any number greater than or equal to 4.

'≤' means 'less than or equal to'. For example, x ≤ 7 means x is any number less than or equal to 7.

Add 12 to both sides: $$x > 24$$ .

Subtract 5 from both sides: $$x ≤ 8$$ .

Add 13 to both sides: $$y ≤ -2$$ .

The solution set is all numbers greater than 24.

The solution set is all numbers less than or equal to 8.
