One step inequalities (Addition and 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 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, y < 3 means y is less than 3.

Front

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

Back

The symbol '≥' means 'greater than or equal to'. For example, z ≥ 4 means z 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, w ≤ 10 means w is less than or equal to 10.

Front

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

Back

To solve, add 5 to both sides: 20 > z or z < 20.

Front

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

Back

To solve, subtract 15 from both sides: 9 ≤ h or h ≥ 9.

Front

How do you solve the inequality: -4 + y < -8?

Back

To solve, add 4 to both sides: y < -4.

Front

How do you solve the inequality: x + 5 > 7?

Back

To solve, subtract 5 from both sides: x > 2.

Front

How do you solve the inequality: r - 14 ≥ 17?

Back

To solve, add 14 to both sides: r ≥ 31.
