This video tutorial covers solving two-step inequalities, including an introduction to inequality symbols and the importance of flipping the inequality sign when multiplying or dividing by a negative number. It provides a step-by-step guide to solving inequalities, graphing them, and includes several example problems to illustrate the concepts. The tutorial emphasizes the difference between solving equations and inequalities, particularly in terms of the range of possible solutions.

What is an inequality in mathematics?

• A mathematical sentence that compares quantities.
