How do you solve the inequality -8x < 48?

Back

Divide both sides by -8 and reverse the inequality sign: x > -6.

Front

How do you solve the inequality 4h < 8?

Back

Divide both sides by 4: h < 2.

Front

How do you solve the inequality x - 4 > 5?

Back

Add 4 to both sides: x > 9.

Front

How do you solve the inequality x + 5 ≤ 13?

Back

Subtract 5 from both sides: x ≤ 8.

What does the solution x ≥ 3 mean in terms of a number line?

Back

It means that the graph includes all numbers greater than or equal to 3, often represented with a closed dot at 3.
