Graphing Linear Inequalities on a Number Line

Mr. Allen teaches how to solve and graph inequalities on a number line. He starts with basic inequalities, explaining how to undo subtraction and multiplication. He then demonstrates graphing these inequalities using open circles. The lesson progresses to more complex inequalities involving distribution and combining like terms, emphasizing the importance of flipping the inequality sign when dividing by a negative number. The video concludes with graphing these complex inequalities using closed circles.

What is the first step to solve the inequality 3x - 4 < 11?

What must you remember when dividing both sides of an inequality by a negative number?

• You add the negative number to both sides

• The inequality sign flips

• You subtract the negative number from both sides

• The inequality sign stays the same
