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 in an inequality?

Back

The symbol '>' means 'greater than'. For example, x > 5 means x is greater than 5.

Front

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

Back

The symbol '<' means 'less than'. For example, x < 3 means x is less than 3.

Front

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

Back

The symbol '≥' means 'greater than or equal to'. For example, x ≥ 4 means x is greater than or equal to 4.

Front

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

Back

The symbol '≤' means 'less than or equal to'. For example, x ≤ 2 means x is less than or equal to 2.

Front

How do you solve the inequality x + 3 > 10?

Back

Subtract 3 from both sides: x > 7.

Front

What is the solution set for the inequality x < 5?

Back

The solution set includes all numbers less than 5, such as 4, 0, -1, etc.

Front

If 2x - 4 < 10, what is the value of x?

Back

Add 4 to both sides: 2x < 14. Then divide by 2: x < 7.

Front

What is the first step to solve the inequality x + 5 ≥ 12?

Back

Subtract 5 from both sides: x ≥ 7.

Front

How can you represent the inequality 'a is at least 10' mathematically?

Back

The inequality can be represented as a ≥ 10.
