Learn how to solve and graph a one step inequality

The video tutorial explains how to solve and graph compound inequalities, focusing on one-step inequalities. It begins by treating inequalities like equations, using inverse operations to solve them. The tutorial then demonstrates graphing inequalities on a number line, explaining the use of open and closed circles. It concludes with testing points to determine shading regions, ensuring a clear understanding of the solution set.

What is the first step in solving a one-step inequality?

• Add a constant to both sides

• Treat it like an equation and use inverse operations

• Ignore the inequality sign

• Multiply both sides by zero

When graphing an inequality on a number line, what does an open circle represent?

• The number is not included in the solution

• The number is included in the solution

• The inequality is false

• The inequality is true

Which of the following is true for a 'greater than or equal to' inequality?

• Use a dashed line

• Do not graph it

• Use a closed circle on the number line

• Use an open circle on the number line

How do you determine the direction of shading on a number line for an inequality?

• Shade towards the left for all inequalities

• Test points to see which side satisfies the inequality

• Always shade both sides

• Shade towards the right for all inequalities

What should you do if a test point satisfies the inequality?

• Change the inequality sign

• Shade the side where the test point lies

• Do not shade at all

• Shade the opposite side
