Solving One-Variable Inequalities

This video tutorial covers solving inequalities with one variable. It begins with an introduction to inequalities and the symbols used to represent them. The lesson then explains how to solve inequalities using the SADMEP method, emphasizing the importance of flipping the inequality sign when multiplying or dividing by a negative number. The tutorial also covers graphing inequalities on a number line, including the use of open and closed circles. It addresses inequalities with multiple variables and special cases where inequalities have all or no solutions. The lesson concludes with practical examples and encourages students to practice on their own.
