Front

What does the symbol '<' mean in inequalities?

Back

The symbol '<' means 'less than'. For example, x < 3 means x is any number less than 3.

Front

What does the symbol '≥' mean in inequalities?

Back

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

Front

What does the symbol '≤' mean in inequalities?

Back

The symbol '≤' means 'less than or equal to'. For example, x ≤ 2 means x is 2 or any number less than 2.

How do you solve the inequality -5m < 10?

Back

Divide both sides by -5 and reverse the inequality sign: m > -2.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality y + 7 ≥ 12?

Back

Subtract 7 from both sides: y ≥ 5.

Front

What does the solution x > 2 represent?

Back

It means x can be any number greater than 2.
