2x + 5 = 13
x= 4
<
less than
x>12

8x
eight times x; eight multiplied by x
3x + 5y ; x=-2 y=8
34
3x - 7 = 14
x=7
>
greater than
y ≤ 50
a number is less than or equal to 50; a number is a maximum 9
x/4
25/x + 7y; x= -5, y=3
16
4x + 9 = -11
x= -5
≤
less than or equal to
n ≥ 21
a number is greater than or equal to 21; a number is at least 21; a number is no less than 21
9 + x

(x+3) + 12
twelve more than the sum of a number and three
23 - 8x -2y; x= -1 y= 7
17
-5x + 12 = -28
x=8
Name another way to say ≥ that is not greater than or equal to
at least, no less than, no smaller than
t ≥ 0
a number is greater than 0; a number is at least 0; a number is no less than 0;
4(2x/8)
four times the quotient of twice a number and eight
