One Step Inequalities With Addition/Subtraction

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

The symbol '≤' means 'less than or equal to'.

Front

What does the symbol '≥' mean?

Back

The symbol '≥' means 'greater than or equal to'.

Front

How do you solve the inequality: h + 15 ≥ 24?

Back

Subtract 15 from both sides: h ≥ 9.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality: x + 5 > 7?

Back

Subtract 5 from both sides: x > 2.

Front

If 6 > x, what can we say about x?

Back

x must be less than 6.

Front

What does it mean if a number is NOT in the solution set of an inequality?

Back

It means that the number does not satisfy the inequality.

Front

How do you represent the solution set of an inequality on a number line?

Back

Use an open circle for < or > and a closed circle for ≤ or ≥, and shade the appropriate direction.

Front

What is the first step in solving an inequality with addition?

Back

Subtract the same number from both sides of the inequality.

Front

What is the first step in solving an inequality with subtraction?

Back

Add the same number to both sides of the inequality.
