Front

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

Back

Add 14 to both sides: r ≥ 31.

Front

How do you solve the inequality y - 13 ≤ -15?

Back

Add 13 to both sides: y ≤ -2.

Front

How do you solve the inequality -4 + y < -8?

Back

Add 4 to both sides: y < -4.

Front

How do you solve the inequality 23 < f + 12?

Back

Subtract 12 from both sides: f > 11.

Front

How do you solve the inequality -9h > -63?

Back

Divide both sides by -9 (remember to flip the inequality): h < 7.

Front

What is the solution set for the inequality r ≥ 31?

Back

The solution set includes all real numbers greater than or equal to 31.
