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 in an inequality?

Back

The symbol '>' means 'greater than'. For example, x > 5 means x is greater than 5.

Front

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

Back

The symbol '<' means 'less than'. For example, x < 10 means x is less than 10.

Front

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

Back

The symbol '≥' means 'greater than or equal to'. For example, x ≥ 3 means x is greater than or equal to 3.

Front

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

Back

The symbol '≤' means 'less than or equal to'. For example, x ≤ 7 means x is less than or equal to 7.

Front

How do you solve the inequality 2x < 10?

Back

Divide both sides by 2: x < 5.

Front

What is the solution set for the inequality x + 3 > 7?

Back

Subtract 3 from both sides: x > 4.

Front

If x - 4 ≤ 2, what is the value of x?

Back

Add 4 to both sides: x ≤ 6.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality 5x ≥ 25?

Back

Divide both sides by 5: x ≥ 5.

Front

How do you represent the solution of x < 3 on a number line?

Back

Draw an open circle at 3 and shade to the left.
