Back

An inequality is a mathematical statement that compares two expressions and shows that one is greater than, less than, greater than or equal to, or less than or equal to the other.

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 solution to the inequality 8x < 48?

Back

Divide both sides by 8: x < 6.

Front

How do you check if a number is a solution to an inequality?

Back

Substitute the number into the inequality and see if the statement is true.

Front

Is 9 a solution to the inequality 4k ≥ 36?

Back

Yes, because 4(9) = 36, which satisfies the inequality.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality x - 4 ≤ 6?

Back

Add 4 to both sides: x ≤ 10.

Front

What does it mean if an inequality has no solution?

Back

It means there are no values that can satisfy the inequality.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality z ≤ 9?

Back

Any number less than or equal to 9 is a solution.
