One Step Inequalities

Front

What is an inequality?

Back

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

Front

What does the symbol '>' mean?

Back

The symbol '>' means 'greater than'. For example, 5 > 3 means 5 is greater than 3.

Front

What does the symbol '<' mean?

Back

The symbol '<' means 'less than'. For example, 2 < 4 means 2 is less than 4.

Front

How do you solve the inequality W - 9 > 17?

Back

Add 9 to both sides: W > 26. Therefore, W must be greater than 26.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality d - 7 < 12?

Back

Add 7 to both sides: d < 19.

Front

How do you solve the inequality -4 + y < -8?

Back

Add 4 to both sides: y < -4.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality x + 5 > 7?

Back

Subtract 5 from both sides: x > 2.

Front

How do you solve the inequality 8x < 48?

Back

Divide both sides by 8: x < 6.

Front

What does it mean when an inequality has no solution?

Back

It means there are no values that can satisfy the inequality, such as x > x.

Front

What is a compound inequality?

Back

A compound inequality combines two inequalities, such as x < 5 and x > 2, written as 2 < x < 5.
