What is an inequality?

Back

An inequality is a mathematical statement that compares two expressions and shows that one is greater than, less than, or not equal to the other. Examples include <, >, ≤, and ≥.

What does the symbol '≥' mean?

Back

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

Front

Solve the inequality: 15 + 7x ≥ 29. What is x?

Back

x ≥ 2.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality: 6t + 4 ≤ -2?

Back

t ≤ -1.

Front

How do you isolate a variable in an inequality?

Back

To isolate a variable, perform the same operations on both sides of the inequality, just like in an equation, but remember to reverse the inequality sign if you multiply or divide by a negative number.

Front

What does the symbol '<' represent?

Back

The symbol '<' means 'less than'. It indicates that the value on the left is smaller than the value on the right.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality: 7b - 3 < 11?

Back

b < 2.

Front

What does the symbol '≤' mean?

Back

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

Front

If x ≥ -6, what can we say about the value of x?

Back

x can be any number greater than or equal to -6.

Front

What is the first step to solve the inequality s + 9 ≥ -25?

Back

Subtract 9 from both sides to isolate s.
