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

Back

The symbol '<' means 'less than'. For example, x < 5 means x is less than 5.

Front

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

Back

The symbol '>' means 'greater than'. For example, x > 3 means x is greater than 3.

Front

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

Back

The symbol '≤' means 'less than or equal to'. For example, x ≤ 10 means x is less than or equal to 10.

Front

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

Back

The symbol '≥' means 'greater than or equal to'. For example, x ≥ 2 means x is greater than or equal to 2.

How do you solve the inequality -8x < 48?

Back

Divide both sides by -8 and reverse the inequality sign: x > -6.

Front

How do you represent 'at most 45 dollars' in inequality form?

Back

g ≤ 45, where g represents the amount of money.

Front

How do you represent 'no more than 18 students' in inequality form?

Back

s ≤ 18, where s represents the number of students.

Front

How do you solve the inequality y - 13 ≤ -15?

Back

Add 13 to both sides: y ≤ -2.

Front

Back

Multiply both sides by 3: n > -60.
