Solving Two-Step Linear Inequalities in One Variable

This video tutorial covers solving two-step linear inequalities in one variable. It explains how to express solutions as inequalities, graphs, and using interval notation. The tutorial provides a review of these methods and demonstrates the steps to solve inequalities, emphasizing the importance of reversing the inequality symbol when multiplying or dividing by a negative number. Several examples are provided, including cases with negative coefficients and variables on the right side, to illustrate the concepts and graphing techniques.

What are the three ways to express the solution of a two-step linear inequality?

• Inequality, table, and interval notation

• Equation, graph, and interval notation
