Using Inequality Symbols

When two expressions that are being compared are not necessarily equal in value, it is considered a(n)

• equation

• exponent

• inequality

• falseism

When an expression on one side of an equal sign has the same value as the expression on the other side, the mathematical statement is a(n)

• equation

• expression

• inequality

• exponent

Match the symbols with the words

• equal

• >

• less than

• ≥

• greater than

• ≤

• greater than or equal to

• <

• less than or equal to

• =

Match the words to the mathematical statements

• a < b

• a is less than or equal to b

• a = b

• a is less than b

• a ≤ b

• a is greater than or equal to b

• a > b

• a has the same value as b

• a ≥ b

• a is greater than b
