Solving Two-Step Inequalities

The video tutorial covers solving two-step inequalities, starting with a review of solving two-step equations. It explains the process of solving equations and inequalities, highlighting the key difference of flipping the inequality sign when dividing by a negative number. The tutorial includes graphing solutions on a number line for both equations and inequalities, emphasizing the visual representation of solutions. Practice problems are provided to reinforce the concepts learned.

What is the first step in solving a two-step equation?

• Multiply both sides by the coefficient

• Add or subtract to isolate the variable term

• Divide both sides by the coefficient

• Flip the inequality sign
