Question 1
Solve 2x + 5 > 11.
- A) x > 3
- B) x < 3
- C) x > 8
- D) x < 8
Show answer
Answer: x > 3
Treat like an equation: 2x + 5 > 11 -> 2x > 6 -> x > 3. (When multiplying or dividing by negative, FLIP the inequality.)

Question 2
Solve 3 - x >= 1.
- A) x >= 2
- B) x <= 2
- C) x >= -2
- D) x <= -2
Show answer
Answer: x <= 2
Subtract 3: -x >= -2. Multiply by -1 (flip inequality): x <= 2.
-
Question 3
Solve -2x < 8.
- A) x < -4
- B) x > -4
- C) x > 4
- D) x < 4
Show answer
Answer: x > -4
Divide both sides by -2. RULE: dividing by a negative FLIPS the inequality. 8 / -2 = -4. So x > -4.
