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

'≥' means 'greater than or equal to'.

Front

What does the symbol '≤' mean?

Back

'≤' means 'less than or equal to'.

How do you solve the inequality r - 14 ≥ 17?

Back

Add 14 to both sides: r ≥ 31.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality -4 + y < -8?

Back

Add 4 to both sides: y < -4.

Front

How do you solve the inequality (n/3) > -20?

Back

Multiply both sides by 3: n > -60.

Front

What inequality is represented by the graph showing a line to the left of 2.75?

Back

2.75 < d.

Front

How do you solve the inequality 24 ≤ h + 15?

Back

Subtract 15 from both sides: h ≥ 9.

Front

What is the first step in solving an inequality?

Back

Isolate the variable by performing inverse operations.

Front

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

Back

The inequality sign flips direction.
