Solving 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'. It indicates that the value on the left is smaller than the value on the right.

Front

What does the symbol '>' mean?

Back

The symbol '>' means 'greater than'. It indicates that the value on the left is larger than the value on the right.

Front

How do you solve the inequality 23 < f + 12?

Back

Subtract 12 from both sides: 23 - 12 < f, which simplifies to 11 < f or f > 11.

Front

What does the symbol '≤' mean?

Back

The symbol '≤' means 'less than or equal to'. It indicates that the value on the left is either smaller than or equal to the value on the right.

Front

How do you solve the inequality -24 + k ≤ 10?

Back

Add 24 to both sides: k ≤ 10 + 24, which simplifies to k ≤ 34.

Front

What does the symbol '≥' mean?

Back

The symbol '≥' means 'greater than or equal to'. It indicates that the value on the left is either larger than or equal to the value on the right.

Front

How do you solve the inequality -9h > -63?

Back

Divide both sides by -9 (remember to flip the inequality): h < 7.

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 26 < f + 32?

Back

Subtract 32 from both sides: 26 - 32 < f, which simplifies to -6 < f or f > -6.
