Front

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?

Back

The symbol '≤' means 'less than or equal to'.

Front

What does the symbol '≥' mean?

Back

The symbol '≥' means 'greater than or equal to'.

Front

How do you solve the inequality 7x > 21?

Back

Divide both sides by 7: x > 3.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality 8x < 48?

Back

Divide both sides by 8: x < 6.

Front

If y + 7 ≥ 12, what is the value of y?

Back

y ≥ 5.

Front

What does it mean if a value satisfies an inequality?

Back

It means that when the value is substituted into the inequality, the statement is true.

Front

How do you graph the inequality 11 ≤ a?

Back

Draw a number line, place a closed circle on 11, and shade to the right.

Front

What is the first step in solving the equation 18 + n = 31?

Back

Subtract 18 from both sides: n = 31 - 18.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality 11 > a?

Back

a < 11.
