One 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?

Back

The symbol '≤' means 'less than or equal to'.

Front

What does the symbol '≥' mean?

Back

The symbol '≥' means 'greater than or equal to'.

Front

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

Back

Subtract 15 from both sides to get h ≥ 9.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality k/-12 ≤ -7?

Back

Multiply both sides by -12 (remember to flip the inequality) to get k ≥ 84.

Front

How do you solve the inequality x + 5 ≤ 13?

Back

Subtract 5 from both sides to get x ≤ 8.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality X/5 ≥ 7?

Back

Multiply both sides by 5 to get X ≥ 35.

Front

How do you solve the inequality -8x < 48?

Back

Divide both sides by -8 (remember to flip the inequality) to get x > -6.

Front

What is the first step in solving an inequality?

Back

Identify the variable and isolate it on one side of the inequality.

Front

What does it mean if an inequality has no solution?

Back

It means that there are no values that can satisfy the inequality.
