Front

What is a linear inequality?

Back

A linear inequality is a mathematical statement that compares a linear expression to a value using inequality symbols (such as <, >, ≤, or ≥).

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

Back

The symbol '≤' means 'less than or equal to'. It indicates that the value on the left can be less than or equal to the value on the right.

Front

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

Back

The symbol '≥' means 'greater than or equal to'. It indicates that the value on the left can be greater than or equal to the value on the right.

How do you represent a maximum value in an inequality?

Back

A maximum value is represented using '≤'. For example, if the maximum is 100, it is written as x ≤ 100.

Front

How do you represent a minimum value in an inequality?

Back

A minimum value is represented using '≥'. For example, if the minimum is 10, it is written as x ≥ 10.
