Card 1Solution set in natural numbers

Solve: x < 4, where x ∈ N

Answer

Step 1: Natural numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, ... Step 2: Pick the natural numbers less than 4. Step 3: The values are 1, 2, and 3. Answer: {1, 2, 3}

Card 2Solution set in natural numbers

Solve: 5 < x ≤ 10, where x ∈ N

Answer

Step 1: Start with natural numbers: 1, 2, 3, ... Step 2: Values must be greater than 5 and at most 10. Step 3: The natural numbers that fit are 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Answer: {6, 7, 8, 9, 10}

Card 3Solution set from a given set

Solve: x > -2, where replacement set is {-4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2}

Answer

Step 1: Check each number in the replacement set. Step 2: Keep only numbers greater than -2. Step 3: The numbers are -1, 0, 1, 2. Answer: {-1, 0, 1, 2}

Card 4Solution set from a given set

Solve: x ≤ -2, where replacement set is {-5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0}

Answer

Step 1: Check the numbers in the replacement set. Step 2: Keep numbers less than or equal to -2. Step 3: The values are -5, -4, -3, -2. Answer: {-5, -4, -3, -2}

Card 5Solving linear inequations

Solve: 12 + 6x > 0, where x is a negative integer

Answer

Step 1: Subtract 12 from both sides. 6x > -12 Step 2: Divide by 6. x > -2 Step 3: Negative integers greater than -2 are checked. Only -1 fits. Answer: {-1}

Card 6Solving linear inequations

Solve: 30 - 4(2x - 1) < 30, where x is a positive integer

Answer

Step 1: Expand the bracket. 30 - 8x + 4 < 30 Step 2: Combine like terms. 34 - 8x < 30 Step 3: Subtract 34 from both sides. -8x < -4 Step 4: Divide by -8 and reverse the sign. x > 1/2 Step 5: Positive

Card 7Solving linear inequations

Solve: -2x + 14 < 6, where x is a real number

Answer

Step 1: Subtract 14 from both sides. -2x < -8 Step 2: Divide by -2 and reverse the sign. x > 4 Answer: x > 4

Card 8Properties of inequations

What happens when both sides of an inequation are multiplied by a negative number?

Answer

The inequality sign reverses. Example: 15 > 9 Multiply both sides by -4: 15 × -4 < 9 × -4 So, -60 < -36 This happens because multiplying by a negative number changes the order on the number line.
