One Step Inequalities

Front

What is an inequality?

Back

An inequality is a mathematical statement that compares two expressions using symbols like <, >, ≤, 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'.

Front

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 12 ≥ 6w?

Back

Divide both sides by 6: w ≤ 2.

Front

How do you solve the inequality y - 13 ≤ -15?

Back

Add 13 to both sides: y ≤ -2.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality 7n > 49?

Back

Divide both sides by 7: n > 7.

Front

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

Back

Isolating the variable means to get the variable by itself on one side of the inequality.

Front

What is the first step in solving the inequality 3x + 5 < 20?

Back

Subtract 5 from both sides: 3x < 15.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality -2x ≥ 8?

Back

Divide both sides by -2 (remember to flip the inequality): x ≤ -4.
