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 in an inequality?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

The symbol '<' means 'less than'. For example, y < 3 means y is less than 3.

Front

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

Back

The symbol '≥' means 'greater than or equal to'. For example, z ≥ 4 means z is greater than or equal to 4.

Front

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

Back

The symbol '≤' means 'less than or equal to'. For example, a ≤ 7 means a is less than or equal to 7.

Front

How do you solve the inequality 15 > -5 + z?

Back

To solve, add 5 to both sides: 20 > z or z < 20.

Front

How do you solve the inequality 24 ≤ h + 15?

Back

To solve, subtract 15 from both sides: 9 ≤ h or h ≥ 9.

Front

How do you solve the inequality 8x < 48?

Back

To solve, divide both sides by 8: x < 6.

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 is the solution to the inequality a ≥ -104?

Back

The solution indicates that a can be any number greater than or equal to -104.
