What is the primary purpose of the problem discussed in the video?

• To practice algebraic methods

• To learn geometry

• To improve reading skills

• To memorize formulas

What is the first step in solving the equation using the distributive property?

• Add numbers on both sides

• Multiply the number outside the parentheses with each term inside

• Subtract numbers from both sides

• Divide the equation by a constant

After applying the distributive property, what is the next step?

• Add a constant to both sides

• Subtract a constant from both sides

• Divide by a variable

• Combine like terms

What should you do to isolate the variable in the inequality?

• Add the same number to both sides

• Divide both sides by the coefficient of the variable

• Subtract the same number from both sides

• Multiply both sides by a constant

How do you determine which numbers satisfy the inequality?

• By checking numbers not equal to the variable

• By checking numbers equal to the variable

• By checking numbers less than the variable

• By checking numbers greater than the variable
