Understanding Inequalities

What symbol is used in inequalities instead of an equal sign?

• Plus sign

• Inequality sign

• Multiplication sign

• Division sign

When solving inequalities, what is the first step to isolate the variable?

• Add a constant to both sides

• Multiply both sides by zero

• Divide both sides by the variable

• Subtract the variable from both sides

What should you do when there are variables on both sides of an inequality?

• Add variables to both sides

• Divide variables on both sides

• Multiply variables on both sides

• Subtract variables from both sides

What happens to the inequality sign when you divide both sides by a negative number?

• It becomes an equal sign

• It flips direction

• It disappears

• It stays the same

In which scenario must you flip the inequality sign?

• When multiplying by zero

• When multiplying or dividing by a negative number

• When subtracting a positive number from both sides

• When adding a positive number to both sides
