Back

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

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, y < 3 means y is less than 3.

How do you solve the inequality 5y - 3 > 12?

Back

Add 3 to both sides to get 5y > 15, then divide by 5 to find y > 3.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality 4y + 7 = 19?

Back

Subtract 7 from both sides to get 4y = 12, then divide by 4 to find y = 3.

What is the correct inequality for t in the statement t - 5 < 9?

Back

Add 5 to both sides to get t < 14.

Front

How do you solve the inequality 2w + 3 < 11?

Back

Subtract 3 from both sides to get 2w < 8, then divide by 2 to find w < 4.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality 5m - 2 > 13?

Back

Add 2 to both sides to get 5m > 15, then divide by 5 to find m > 3.

Front

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

Back

The symbol '≥' means 'greater than or equal to'. For example, x ≥ 5 means x is greater than or equal to 5.

Front

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

Back

The symbol '≤' means 'less than or equal to'. For example, y ≤ 3 means y is less than or equal to 3.
