The word "is" implies equality - an equation. An equality would be expressed different, for example, "is more than", "is at least", etc.
A number sentence is typically an equation or inequality expressed using numbers and common symbols.A valid number sentence that is true: 3 + 7 = 10
If you want that as an inequality, you write:x <= -10 You can replace "<=" with the corresponding inequality symbol (less than or equal).
In the case of an inequality, if you mulitply by a negative number, you have to reverse the direction of the inequality. E.g.: -x < 10 becomes: x > -10 (Here, I multiplied by -1, and simultaneously reversed the direction of the inequality.)
Let x = the numbernumber increased by 10 = x + 10
x + 10

The equation to represent the situation where a number increased by 10 is greater than or equal to 44 is: x + 10 ≥ 44. In this equation, x represents the unknown number. To solve for x, you would subtract 10 from both sides of the equation to isolate x, resulting in x ≥ 34. Therefore, any number that is equal to or greater than 34 would satisfy the original condition.
If you want that as an inequality, you write:x <= -10 You can replace "<=" with the corresponding inequality symbol (less than or equal).
In solving an inequality you generally use the same methods as for solving an equation. The main difference is that when you multiply or divide each side by a negative, you have to switch the direction of the inequality sign. The solution to an equation is often a single value, but the solution to an inequality is usually an infinite set of numbers, such as x>3.
In that it uses an inequality sign (less then, greater than, less-than-or-equal, greater-than-or-equal) instead of an equality sign. When solving, special care must be taken - when multiplying or dividing both sides of an inequality by a negative number, the direction of the inequality sign changes.

Flip. You need to reverse the inequality when multiplying or dividing by a negative. -2x < 10 (-1)*(-2x) < (-1)*10 2x > -10 x > -5
