Solving Multi-Step Inequalities Challenge

This video tutorial covers solving multi-step inequalities, graphing them, and writing them in interval notation. It explains interval notation, including the use of brackets and parentheses, and provides examples to illustrate the concepts. The tutorial also discusses the steps for solving inequalities, highlighting the differences from solving equations, such as the need to flip the inequality symbol when multiplying or dividing by a negative number. Four examples are provided, each demonstrating the process of solving and graphing inequalities, with a focus on understanding interval notation.

What are the three main topics covered in the video tutorial?

• Solving equations, graphing them, and writing them in standard form

• Solving multi-step inequalities, graphing them, and writing them in interval notation

• Solving single-step inequalities, graphing them, and writing them in set notation

• Solving quadratic equations, graphing them, and writing them in interval notation
