Inequalities — MCQ Questions

1Solve: \(x + 3 > 7\)

A.\(x > 4\)
B.\(x > 10\)
C.\(x < 4\)
D.\(x > 3\)
Show Answer+

Answer: \(x > 4\)

Hint: Subtract 3 from both sides.

Solution:

x + 3 > 7

x > 7 − 3

x > 4

2Solve: \(x - 5 \leq 10\)

A.\(x \leq 15\)
B.\(x \leq 5\)
C.\(x < 15\)
D.\(x \geq 15\)
Show Answer+

Answer: \(x \leq 15\)

Hint: Add 5 to both sides.

Solution:

x − 5 ≤ 10

x ≤ 15

3Solve: \(2x > 12\)

A.\(x > 6\)
B.\(x > 24\)
C.\(x > 10\)
D.\(x < 6\)
Show Answer+

Answer: \(x > 6\)

Hint: Divide both sides by 2.

Solution:

2x > 12

x > 6

4Solve: \(3x + 1 < 16\)

A.\(x < 5\)
B.\(x < 6\)
C.\(x \leq 5\)
D.\(x > 5\)
Show Answer+

Answer: \(x < 5\)

Hint: Subtract 1, then divide by 3.

Solution:

3x + 1 < 16

3x < 15

x < 5

5Which integer values satisfy \(x > 2\) and \(x \leq 6\)?

A.3, 4, 5, 6
B.2, 3, 4, 5, 6
C.3, 4, 5
D.2, 3, 4, 5
Show Answer+

Answer: 3, 4, 5, 6

Hint: x must be greater than 2 (not including 2) and at most 6 (including 6).

Solution:

x > 2: smallest integer is 3

x ≤ 6: largest integer is 6

Integers: 3, 4, 5, 6

6Solve: \(\frac{x}{4} \geq 3\)

A.\(x \geq 12\)
B.\(x \geq 7\)
C.\(x > 12\)
D.\(x \leq 12\)
Show Answer+

Answer: \(x \geq 12\)

Hint: Multiply both sides by 4.

Solution:

x/4 ≥ 3

x ≥ 12

7Solve: \(-x > 5\)

A.\(x > -5\)
B.\(x < -5\)
C.\(x > 5\)
D.\(x < 5\)
Show Answer+

Answer: \(x < -5\)

Hint: When you multiply or divide by a negative number, flip the inequality sign.

Solution:

−x > 5

Multiply both sides by −1 (flip the sign):

x < −5

8Write the inequality shown on a number line with an open circle at 3 and an arrow pointing right.

A.\(x > 3\)
B.\(x \geq 3\)
C.\(x < 3\)
D.\(x = 3\)
Show Answer+

Answer: \(x > 3\)

Hint: An open circle means the point is NOT included.

Solution:

Open circle at 3 → not including 3

Arrow pointing right → values greater than 3

x > 3

9Solve: \(5x - 2 \geq 18\)

A.\(x \geq 4\)
B.\(x \geq 3.2\)
C.\(x > 4\)
D.\(x \leq 4\)
Show Answer+

Answer: \(x \geq 4\)

Hint: Add 2 to both sides, then divide by 5.

Solution:

5x − 2 ≥ 18

5x ≥ 20

x ≥ 4

10Solve: \(x + 8 > 3\)

A.\(x > -5\)
B.\(x > 5\)
C.\(x > 11\)
D.\(x < -5\)
Show Answer+

Answer: \(x > -5\)

Hint: Subtract 8 from both sides.

Solution:

x + 8 > 3

x > 3 − 8 = −5

Tips for Inequalities MCQs

  • 1Read each question carefully and identify what is being asked before looking at the options.
  • 2Try to solve the problem mentally or on paper first, then match your answer with the options.
  • 3Use elimination — rule out clearly wrong options to improve your chances even when unsure.
  • 4Check units, signs, and edge cases — these are common traps in Inequalities MCQs.
  • 5Review your mistakes after completing the test to build lasting understanding.
