PRACTICE: Solving One Step Inequalities

Front

What is an inequality?

Back

An inequality is a mathematical statement that compares two expressions using symbols like <, >, ≤, or ≥.

Front

What does the symbol '≥' mean?

Back

'≥' means 'greater than or equal to'.

Front

What does the symbol '≤' mean?

Back

'≤' means 'less than or equal to'.

Front

How do you solve the inequality r - 14 ≥ 17?

Back

Add 14 to both sides: r ≥ 31.

Front

How do you solve the inequality x + 5 > 7?

Back

Subtract 5 from both sides: x > 2.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality 8x < 48?

Back

Divide both sides by 8: x < 6.

Front

What inequality represents 'no more than 35 laps'?

Back

p ≤ 35.

Front

What does it mean if a number is 'greater than' another number?

Back

It means the first number is larger than the second number.

Front

What does it mean if a number is 'less than' another number?

Back

It means the first number is smaller than the second number.

Front

How can you represent 'at least 10' in inequality form?

Back

x ≥ 10.
