Basic properties of numerical inequalities
Answers are for parents and teachers.
1
From x + 4 < 9 write a condition on x.
x < 5
2
From -5a < 20 find a.
a > -4
3
If a > b, compare 3 - a and 3 - b.
3 - a < 3 - b
4
From x/(-2) ≥ 3 find x.
x ≤ -6
5
Multiply both sides of 2 < 5 by -1 and check the result.
-2 > -5, the inequality is true
