Solving One Step Linear Inequalities with Variable on Right

The video tutorial explains how to solve and graph inequalities with the variable on the right side. It covers two examples, demonstrating how to isolate the variable, reverse the inequality for easier graphing, and express the solution using interval notation. The tutorial emphasizes understanding the direction of the inequality symbol and the use of open and closed points on the graph.

What is the first step in solving an inequality where the variable is on the right side?

• Subtract from both sides

• Add to both sides

• Isolate the variable

• None of the above
