Understanding Linear Inequalities

The video tutorial explains how to solve a linear inequality in one variable. It covers the process of solving the inequality, expressing the solution using inequality notation, graphing the solution, and using interval notation. Key steps include distributing terms, combining like terms, and dividing by a positive number without reversing the inequality symbol. The tutorial also demonstrates graphing the solution on a number line and using interval notation to express the solution.

What must you do to the inequality symbol when you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number?

• Add a positive number to both sides

• Reverse the inequality symbol

• Subtract a negative number from both sides

• Keep the inequality symbol the same

What is the first step in solving the inequality 36x ≤ 4(-7x + 32)?

• Add 7x to both sides

• Distribute the 4 on the right side

• Subtract 32 from both sides

• Divide both sides by 4

After distributing and combining like terms, what is the resulting inequality before the final step?

• 64x ≤ 128

• 36x ≤ 128

• 36x ≥ 128

• 64x ≥ 128
