How do you solve the inequality 2 + n ≤ 4½?

Back

Subtract 2 from both sides to get n ≤ 2½.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality x + 4 < 4?

Back

Subtract 4 from both sides to get x < 0.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality s - 10 ≤ 1?

Back

Add 10 to both sides to get s ≤ 11.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality 10 ≥ x - 3?

Back

Add 3 to both sides to get x ≤ 13.

Front

What does it mean to isolate a variable in an inequality?

Back

Isolating a variable means to get the variable on one side of the inequality by performing operations on both sides.

Front

What is the first step in solving the inequality n + 5 > 10?

Back

Subtract 5 from both sides to get n > 5.

Front

What happens to the inequality sign when you multiply or divide by a negative number?

Back

The inequality sign flips when you multiply or divide both sides by a negative number.
