One Step Inequalities

Front

What is an inequality?

Back

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

Front

What does the symbol '<' mean?

Back

The symbol '<' means 'less than'. For example, x < 5 means x is less than 5.

Front

What does the symbol '>' mean?

Back

The symbol '>' means 'greater than'. For example, x > 3 means x is greater than 3.

Front

How do you solve the inequality x + 5 < 6?

Back

Subtract 5 from both sides: x < 1.

Front

How do you solve the inequality x + 5 > 9?

Back

Subtract 5 from both sides: x > 4.

Front

How do you solve the inequality 12 > x + 6?

Back

Subtract 6 from both sides: 6 > x, or x < 6.

Front

How do you solve the inequality x - 2 > 4?

Back

Add 2 to both sides: x > 6.

Front

How do you solve the inequality a - 17 > -16?

Back

Add 17 to both sides: a > 1.

Front

What is the solution set for the inequality x < 1?

Back

The solution set includes all numbers less than 1.

Front

What is the solution set for the inequality x > 4?

Back

The solution set includes all numbers greater than 4.
