Inequality Word Problems

An inequality is a mathematical statement that compares two expressions and shows that one is greater than, less than, or equal to the other.

The correct inequality is $$y - 5 < 20$$ .

The inequality is $$520 + 6x \ge 1000$$ , where x is the number of signatures collected each week.

The inequality is $$6.89 + 0.59x \le 8.50$$ , where x is the number of pens.

The inequality is $$25 + 0.50x > 150$$ , where x is the number of lemonade sold.

This means $$x \le 30$$ .

The symbol '<' means 'less than', while '<=' means 'less than or equal to'.

You can use the symbol '>' to indicate that the number is greater than that value.

It represents that the value of x plus 3 is less than 10.

Add 4 to both sides to get $$2x > 10$$ , then divide by 2 to find $$x > 5$$ .
