Module 6 Inequalities Flashcard

Front

What happens to the inequality symbol when you multiply both sides of an inequality by a negative number?

Back

The inequality symbol must be reversed for the inequality to remain true.

Front

What is the Addition Property of Inequality?

Back

If you add the same number to each side of an inequality, the two sides remain equal.

Front

What is the Division Property of Inequality?

Back

If you divide each side of an inequality by the same nonzero number, the two sides remain equal.

Front

What is an inequality?

Back

An open sentence that uses >, <, ≥, or ≤ to compare two quantities.

Front

What is the Subtraction Property of Inequality?

Back

If you subtract the same number from each side of an inequality, the inequality remains true.

Front

Front

Can you give an example of an inequality?

Back

x + 3 > 5 is an example of an inequality.

Front

What does it mean to solve an inequality?

Back

To find all values of the variable that make the inequality true.

Front

How do you graph an inequality on a number line?

Back

Use an open circle for < or > and a closed circle for ≤ or ≥, then shade the appropriate direction.
