Understanding One-Step Inequalities

What is the main difference between solving equations and inequalities?

• Both equations and inequalities have the same number of solutions.

• Equations have one solution, while inequalities have multiple.

• Equations have multiple solutions, while inequalities have one.

• Inequalities have no solutions.

If n + 3 > 14, what is the range of possible values for n?

• n can be any number equal to 11.

• n can be any number greater than 11.

• n can be any number less than 11.

• n can be any number less than or equal to 11.

How do you solve the inequality 4x < 12?

• Add 4 to both sides.

• Subtract 4 from both sides.

• Multiply both sides by 4.

• Divide both sides by 4.

What is the inverse operation used to solve the inequality x - 3.2 ≤ 4.8?

• Multiplication

• Subtraction

• Division
