Solving 1-Step Inequalities

An inequality is a mathematical statement that compares two expressions using symbols such as <, >, ≤, or ≥.

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

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

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

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

Divide both sides by 8: x < 6.

Divide both sides by 7: n > 7.

h ≥ 48.

Subtract 7 from both sides: y ≥ 5.

The solution is all values of z that are less than or equal to 9.
