Solving 1 step Inequalities

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 in an inequality?

Back

The symbol '>' means 'greater than'. For example, x > 2 means x is greater than 2.

Front

What does the symbol '<' mean in an inequality?

Back

The symbol '<' means 'less than'. For example, y < 5 means y is less than 5.

Front

How do you solve the inequality x + 5 > 7?

Back

Subtract 5 from both sides: x > 2.

Front

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

Back

Add 4 to both sides: y < -4.

Front

How do you solve n/3 > -20?

Back

Multiply both sides by 3: n > -60.

Front

What does the symbol '≥' mean in an inequality?

Back

The symbol '≥' means 'greater than or equal to'. For example, x ≥ -2 means x is greater than or equal to -2.

Front

How do you solve the inequality 15 > -5 + z?

Back

Add 5 to both sides: z < 20.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality 5⋅x ≥ -10?

Back

Divide both sides by 5: x ≥ -2.

Front

What is the first step in solving an inequality?

Back

Identify the operation that needs to be undone (addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division) and perform the opposite operation.
