Solving Multi-Step Inequalities Effectively

The video tutorial covers solving multi-step inequalities, similar to solving equations but with key differences. It explains the use of parentheses and brackets in interval notation and demonstrates solving inequalities through examples. The importance of flipping the inequality sign when dividing by a negative number is highlighted. The tutorial provides step-by-step solutions to various inequality problems, emphasizing the correct use of symbols and graphing techniques.

What symbols are used to represent inequalities?

• Plus, minus, multiply, divide

• Greater than, less than, greater than or equal to, less than or equal to

• Equal to, not equal to

• Parentheses, brackets

Why do we flip the inequality sign when dividing by a negative number?

• Because the inequality becomes false otherwise

• To avoid using negative numbers

• To keep the variable positive

• To make the equation easier to solve
