Representing Inequalities on a Number Line

This video tutorial teaches how to represent the solution set of an inequality on a number line. It begins with an introduction to inequalities and a review of key concepts such as variables and number line symbols. The core lesson involves solving an inequality step-by-step and graphing the solution on a number line. The tutorial concludes with a demonstration of shading the number line to represent the solution set.
