Linear Inequalities and Their Solutions

This video tutorial covers solving two-step linear inequalities in one variable. It explains the process of solving these inequalities, including reversing the inequality symbol when multiplying or dividing by a negative number. The tutorial provides examples of expressing solutions as inequalities, graphs, and using interval notation. It also demonstrates solving inequalities with variables on the right side and emphasizes the importance of correctly graphing and using interval notation.

What are the three ways to express the solutions of two-step linear inequalities?

• As a fraction, a decimal, and a percentage

• As an inequality, a graph, and using interval notation

• As a polynomial, a graph, and using set notation

• As a matrix, a graph, and using vector notation
