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

Back

The symbol '>' means 'greater than'.

Front

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

Back

The symbol '<' means 'less than'.

Front

Back

The symbol '≤' means 'less than or equal to'.

Front

How do you solve the inequality 3k - 5 > 10?

Back

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

Front

How do you solve the inequality -7n > -35?

Back

Divide both sides by -7, remembering to flip the inequality sign, resulting in n < 5.

Front

What happens to the inequality sign when you multiply or divide by a negative number?

Back

The inequality sign flips when you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number.

Front

How do you solve the inequality -9h > -63?

Back

Divide both sides by -9, flipping the inequality sign to get h < 7.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality 5m - 8 > 12?

Back

Add 8 to both sides to get 5m > 20, then divide by 5 to find m > 4.
