One-Step Inequalities

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 'greater than'. For example, 5 > 3 means 5 is greater than 3.

Front

What does the symbol '<' mean?

Back

The symbol '<' means 'less than'. For example, 2 < 4 means 2 is less than 4.

Front

What does the symbol '≥' mean?

Back

The symbol '≥' means 'greater than or equal to'. For example, 7 ≥ 7 means 7 is greater than or equal to 7.

Front

What does the symbol '≤' mean?

Back

The symbol '≤' means 'less than or equal to'. For example, 3 ≤ 5 means 3 is less than or equal to 5.

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 4x ≤ 20?

Back

Divide both sides by 4: x ≤ 5.

Front

How do you represent the inequality 2.75 < d on a number line?

Back

Draw an open circle at 2.75 and shade to the right.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality x - 5 ≥ 2?

Back

Add 5 to both sides: x ≥ 7.

Front

Which value is NOT a solution for the inequality x < -2?

Back

Any value greater than or equal to -2, such as -1.
