Solving One Step Inequalities

Front

Does the sign need to flip when solving inequalities?

Back

No, the sign does not need to flip when you add or subtract a number from both sides of the inequality.

Front

Solve the inequality: 26 < p + 28

Back

p > -2

Front

Solve for n: n - 30 = -32

Back

n = -2

Front

Solve the inequality: y - 13 ≤ -15

Back

y ≤ -2

Front

Solve the inequality: -5m < 10

Back

m > -2

Front

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

Back

The inequality sign flips when you multiply or divide both sides by a negative number.

Front

Solve the inequality: 3x + 5 > 14

Back

x > 3

Front
