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 'greater than or equal to'.

Front

What does the symbol '≤' mean?

Back

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

Front

How do you solve the inequality 32 ≥ 16p?

Back

Divide both sides by 16 to get p ≤ 2.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality p + 10 < -85?

Back

Subtract 10 from both sides to get p < -95.

Front

When graphing the inequality b < 6, what type of circle is used?

Back

An open circle is used when graphing b < 6.

Front

What does the inequality 6 > x mean?

Back

It means that x is less than 6.

Front

How do you represent the solution of p ≤ 2 on a number line?

Back

Draw a closed circle at 2 and shade to the left.

Front

What is the difference between an open circle and a closed circle on a number line?

Back

An open circle indicates that the number is not included, while a closed circle indicates that the number is included.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality 5x > 20?

Back

Divide both sides by 5 to get x > 4.
