One Step Inequalities- Add/Subtract

Front

What is an inequality?

Back

An inequality is a mathematical statement that compares two expressions using symbols like >, <, ≥, or ≤.

Front

What does the symbol '≥' mean?

Back

'≥' means 'greater than or equal to'.

Front

What does the symbol '≤' mean?

Back

'≤' means 'less than or equal to'.

Front

How do you solve the inequality r - 14 ≥ 17?

Back

Add 14 to both sides: r ≥ 31.

Front

What is the first step to solve the inequality 24 ≤ h + 15?

Back

Subtract 15 from both sides: h ≥ 9.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality x - 12 > 12?

Back

Add 12 to both sides: x > 24.

Front

What does it mean to isolate the variable in an inequality?

Back

Isolating the variable means to get the variable by itself on one side of the inequality.

Front

If you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, what happens?

Back

The direction of the inequality sign reverses.

Front

What is the solution set for the inequality x > -1/2?

Back

The solution set includes all numbers greater than -1/2.

Front

How do you graph the inequality x ≥ 3?

Back

Draw a solid dot on 3 and shade to the right.
