One step Inequality Practice

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?

Back

The symbol ≤ means 'less than or equal to'.

Front

What does the symbol < mean?

Back

The symbol < means 'less than'.

Front

How do you solve the inequality x + 5 ≤ 13?

Back

Subtract 5 from both sides: x ≤ 8.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality -8x < 48?

Back

Divide both sides by -8 (remember to flip the inequality): x > -6.

Front

What does the solution x < 8 represent?

Back

It represents all numbers less than 8.

Front

How do you graph the inequality x < 8?

Back

Draw a number line, place an open circle at 8, and shade to the left.

Front

Back

Multiply both sides by 2: b < 26.

Front

What are two solutions to the inequality x < 8?

Back

Examples include 7 and 0.

Front

What does the symbol > mean?

Back

The symbol > means 'greater than'.
