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 or equal to'.

Front

What does the symbol '≥' mean?

Back

The symbol '≥' means 'greater than or equal to'.

Front

How do you solve the inequality x + 5 ≤ 13?

Back

Subtract 5 from both sides: x ≤ 8.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality z ≤ 9?

Back

The solution indicates that z can be any number less than or equal to 9.

Front

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

Back

The inequality sign flips (changes direction).

Front

Solve the inequality -2x > -18.

Back

Divide both sides by -2 and flip the inequality: x < 9.

Front

What does the number line graph representing x ≥ -5 look like?

Back

It includes all numbers greater than or equal to -5, with a closed dot at -5.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality -9h > -63?

Back

Divide both sides by -9 and flip the inequality: h < 7.

Front

What is the first step in solving the inequality 3x + 4 < 10?

Back

Subtract 4 from both sides: 3x < 6.
