Solving One Step Inequalities (No Negatives)

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 in an inequality?

Back

'>' means 'greater than'. For example, x > 5 means x is greater than 5.

Front

What does the symbol '<' mean in an inequality?

Back

'<'' means 'less than'. For example, y < 10 means y is less than 10.

How do you solve the inequality 126 < f + 32?

Back

Subtract 32 from both sides: 126 - 32 < f, which simplifies to 94 < f or f > 94.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality 26 < p + 28?

Back

Subtract 28 from both sides: 26 - 28 < p, which simplifies to -2 < p or p > -2.

Front

How do you solve the inequality y + 7 ≥ 12?

Back

Subtract 7 from both sides: y ≥ 12 - 7, which simplifies to y ≥ 5.

Front

What is the solution to the equation 18 + n = 31?

Back

Subtract 18 from both sides: n = 31 - 18, which simplifies to n = 13.

Front

How do you solve the inequality x + 5 > 10?

Back

Subtract 5 from both sides: x > 10 - 5, which simplifies to x > 5.

Front

What does the symbol '≥' mean in an inequality?

Back

'≥' means 'greater than or equal to'. For example, x ≥ 3 means x is either greater than 3 or equal to 3.

Front

What does the symbol '≤' mean in an inequality?

Back

'≤' means 'less than or equal to'. For example, y ≤ 4 means y is either less than 4 or equal to 4.
