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 h - 2.7 ≤ 7?

Back

Add 2.7 to both sides to get h ≤ 9.7.

Front

What is the solution set for the inequality x < 8?

Back

The solution set includes all numbers less than 8, such as 7.9, 7.8, 5.9, etc.

Front

What does a number line represent in inequalities?

Back

A number line visually shows the range of values that satisfy the inequality.

Front

How do you represent the inequality x ≥ 3 on a number line?

Back

Draw a solid dot at 3 and shade to the right to indicate all numbers greater than or equal to 3.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality 5w ≥ 30?

Back

Divide both sides by 5 to get w ≥ 6.

Front

Which values are solutions to the inequality x < 8?

Back

Examples of solutions include 7.9, 7.8, and 5.9.

Front

What is the difference between '>' and '≥'?

Back

'>' means greater than, while '≥' means greater than or equal to.
