What does it mean to solve for x in an inequality?

Back

To solve for x in an inequality means to find the range of values that x can take to satisfy the inequality.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality x < -3?

Back

The solution includes all real numbers less than -3.

Front

What is the first step in solving the equation 5x + 10 = 60?

Back

The first step is to isolate the term with x by subtracting 10 from both sides.

Front

What is the mistake in dividing by a negative number when solving an inequality?

Back

Dividing by a negative number reverses the direction of the inequality sign.

Front

How do you find the slope of a line given the equation 2x - 3y = -12?

Back

Rearrange the equation into slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) to identify the slope (m).

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation 2x - 3y = -12?

Back

The slope is 2/3.

Front

What is the y-intercept of the line represented by the equation 2x - 3y = -12?

Back

The y-intercept is 4.

Front

What does a solution to a system of equations represent?

Back

It represents the point where the two lines intersect, indicating the values of x and y that satisfy both equations.

Front

What is the solution to the system of equations represented by the points (1, 3)?

Back

The solution is the point (1, 3), which satisfies both equations in the system.

Front

What is the process of distribution in algebra?

Back

Distribution involves multiplying a single term by each term inside a set of parentheses.
