Front

What is a one-step inequality?

Back

A one-step inequality is an inequality that can be solved in a single step, typically involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division.

Front

How do you solve the inequality n - 8 ≥ 3?

Back

Add 8 to both sides to get n ≥ 11.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality -48 < 12c?

Back

Divide both sides by 12 to get c > -4.

Front

How do you solve the inequality m - 9 ≤ 20?

Back

Add 9 to both sides to get m ≤ 29.

Front

What does it mean to 'flip' the inequality symbol?

Back

Flipping the inequality symbol occurs when you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality 32 ≥ -16p?

Back

Divide both sides by -16 and flip the symbol to get p ≥ -2.

Front

Which inequality requires flipping the symbol: x - 2 > -18 or -2x > -18?

Back

-2x > -18 requires flipping the symbol.

Front

What is the first step to solve the inequality 5x + 3 < 18?

Back

Subtract 3 from both sides to get 5x < 15.

Front

How do you express the solution to the inequality 4x ≥ 20?

Back

Divide both sides by 4 to get x ≥ 5.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality 3y - 7 < 2?

Back

Add 7 to both sides to get 3y < 9, then divide by 3 to get y < 3.
