How do you solve the inequality 5w ≥ 30?

Back

Divide both sides by 5: w ≥ 6.

Front

What is the solution set for the inequality x + 9 > 17?

Back

x > 8.

Front

How do you represent the solution of an inequality on a number line?

Back

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

Front

What is the solution to the inequality h - 2.7 ≤ 7?

Back

h ≤ 9.7.
