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 'greater than or equal to'.

Front

What does the symbol '≤' mean?

Back

'≤' means 'less than or equal to'.

How do you solve the inequality y + 7 ≥ 12?

Back

Subtract 7 from both sides: y ≥ 5.

Front

How do you solve the inequality 8x < 48?

Back

Divide both sides by 8: x < 6.

Front

How do you solve the inequality 15 > -5 + z?

Back

Add 5 to both sides: z < 20.

Front

How do you solve the inequality 1.8m ≥ -5.4?

Back

Divide both sides by 1.8: m ≥ -3.

Front

How do you solve the inequality 26 + y ≤ -18?

Back

Subtract 26 from both sides: y ≤ -44.

Front

What is the first step in solving a one-step inequality?

Back

Identify the operation being performed and perform the inverse operation.

Front

What is the difference between solving an equation and solving an inequality?

Back

In inequalities, the solution set can include a range of values, while equations have specific solutions.
