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 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 < 3 means x is less than 3.

Front

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

Back

The symbol '≥' means 'greater than or equal to'. For example, x ≥ 4 means x is greater than or equal to 4.

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 x - 3 < 10?

Back

Add 3 to both sides: x < 13.

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 set for the inequality x < -2?

Back

The solution set includes all numbers less than -2.

Front

How do you write an inequality for a maximum speed limit of 55?

Back

s ≤ 55, where s represents speed.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality x - 1 < -3?

Back

Add 1 to both sides: x < -2.
