Solving Inequalities with Variables on Both Sides

This video tutorial covers solving inequalities with variables on both sides. It begins with an introduction and agenda, followed by four detailed examples. Each example demonstrates the steps to solve inequalities, including handling constants and fractions. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of flipping the inequality when necessary and provides tips for graphing solutions on a number line.

What is the main goal of the lesson?

• To solve equations with variables on one side

• To solve equations with fractions

• To solve inequalities with constants

• To solve inequalities with variables on both sides
