Inequality One Step Quiz worksheet - Free Printable

Let's solve each one-step inequality step by step, match the answer to the correct letter, and then fill in the riddle boxes.

---

Problem 1: -2x ≤ 6

Divide both sides by -2 → flip the inequality sign
→ x ≥ -3
✔ Letter: R

---

Problem 2: x - 3 ≥ 2

Add 3 to both sides:
→ x ≥ 5
✔ Letter: A

---

Problem 3: x/2 > 3

Multiply both sides by 2:
→ x > 6
✔ Letter: V

---

Problem 4: -x/3 > 1

Multiply both sides by 3:
→ -x > 3
Now divide by -1 → flip the sign:
→ x < -3
✔ Letter: S

---

Problem 5: -2x ≤ -6

Divide both sides by -2 → flip the sign:
→ x ≥ 3
✔ Letter: I

---

Problem 6: -x/2 < 3

Multiply both sides by 2:
→ -x < 6
Divide by -1 → flip the sign:
→ x > -6
✔ Letter: T

---

Problem 7: -2x ≥ 6

Divide by -2 → flip the sign:
→ x ≤ -3
✔ Letter: Q

---

Problem 8: x + 5 > 3

Subtract 5:
→ x > -2
✔ Letter: N

---

Problem 9: x - 5 > 2

Add 5:
→ x > 7
✔ Letter: L

---

Problem 10: x + 1 ≥ 3

Subtract 1:
→ x ≥ 2
✔ Letter: H

---

Problem 11: 2x < -4

Divide by 2:
→ x < -2
✔ Letter: U

---

Problem 12: -2x ≥ -4

Divide by -2 → flip the sign:
→ x ≤ 2
✔ Letter: E

---

Problem 13: x - 5 ≥ 3

Add 5:
→ x ≥ 8
✔ Letter: Y

---

Problem 14: x/2 < -3

Multiply by 2:
→ x < -6
✔ Letter: G

---

## Now let’s fill in the riddle boxes using the problem numbers:

We have 4 rows of blanks with problem numbers above them.

First row: 1 12 3 12 1 4 12

- 1 → R
- 12 → E
- 3 → V
- 12 → E
- 1 → R
- 4 → S
- 12 → E

→ R E V E R S E

---

Second row: 6 10 12

- 6 → T
- 10 → H
- 12 → E

→ T H E

---

Third row: 5 8 12 7 11 2 9 5 6 13

- 5 → I
- 8 → N
- 12 → E
- 7 → Q
- 11 → U
- 2 → A
- 9 → L
- 5 → I
- 6 → T
- 13 → Y

→ I N E Q U A L I T Y

---

Fourth row: 4 5 14 8

- 4 → S
- 5 → I
- 14 → G
- 8 → N

→ S I G N
