Back

An inequality is a mathematical statement that compares two expressions using symbols such as >, <, ≥, or ≤.

Front

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

Back

The symbol '>' means 'greater than'. For example, x > 5 means x is greater than 5.

Front

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

Back

The symbol '<' means 'less than'. For example, x < 3 means x is less than 3.

Front

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

Back

The symbol '≥' means 'greater than or equal to'. For example, x ≥ 4 means x is greater than or equal to 4.

Front

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

Back

The symbol '≤' means 'less than or equal to'. For example, x ≤ 2 means x is less than or equal to 2.

Front

How do you solve the inequality x - 41 > 22?

Back

Add 41 to both sides: x > 63.

Front

How do you solve the inequality 30 + n ≥ 50?

Back

Subtract 30 from both sides: n ≥ 20.

Front

What is the first step in solving the inequality x + 5 > 7?

Back

Subtract 5 from both sides: x > 2.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality a ≤ 25?

Back

The solution indicates that a can be any number less than or equal to 25.

Front

What is the graph of the inequality x > 2?

Back

A number line with an open circle at 2 and a line extending to the right.
