In mathematical contexts, the inequality sign that indicates a maximum is the "less than or equal to" sign (≤). This sign is used to express that a value cannot exceed a certain maximum limit. For example, if x ≤ 5, it means x can be any value up to and including 5, but not greater.
A number is an expression. It is not an equation, or an inequality, since it doesn't have an equal sign, or an inequality (greater than, less than, etc.) sign.
The inequality sign must be flipped.
if there are no comparison signs (equals or inequalities, ie =, >, < etc) then it is an expression, eg "x + 5" If there is a comparison sign which is not equals, then it is an inequality, eg "x > 5"
Leave it alone. You cannot make an inequality into an equality by multiplying both sides of the inequation by the same number. If instead of the inequality sign you are using a lesser or greater than sign, however, you will need to reverse it if you multiply both sides by the same negative number, e.g. 10>4. If you multiply both sides by -2, you need to change the > into a <, so -20<-8
In an inequality, "at least" signifies that a certain value must be greater than or equal to a specified number. For example, if an inequality states that ( x \geq 5 ), it means that ( x ) can be any value that is 5 or greater. This term establishes a lower boundary for the values that satisfy the inequality.
≤
The symbol is <.
Greater than or equal to
It's the "less than" sign [ < ] above the "equals" sign [ = ].≤When you see it, you read it " ... less than or equal to ... ". That's the same as " ... no more than ... "
An inequality sign which means > more than and < less than
When you divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, the inequality sign flips.
"x281" is an expression, not an inequality. An inequality is supposed to have an inequality sign, such as "<" or ">".
There is no inequality since there is no inequality sign.
With the equal sign (=).
When solving an inequality, you must revers the inequality sign when you multiply (or divide) both sides by a negative number.
No, you only flip the inequality sign if you are dividing by a negative number on both sides of the inequality
Yes, when the inequality has a less that or equal to sign, or a greater than sign or equal to sign, then the equal sign can be replaced and get a solution that is common to both the equation and the inequality. There can also be other solutions to the inequality, where as the solution for the equation will be a valid one.
