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 x + 5 ≤ 13?

Back

Subtract 5 from both sides: x ≤ 8.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality x ≥ 15?

Back

The solution indicates that x can be any number 15 or greater.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

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

Back

Multiply both sides by 5: X ≥ 35.

Front

How do you solve the inequality k/-12 ≤ -7?

Back

Multiply both sides by -12 (flip the inequality): k ≥ 84.

Front

What does it mean if x < 6?

Back

It means x can be any number less than 6.

Front

What does it mean if x > -6?

Back

It means x can be any number greater than -6.
