Using Inequality Statements to Compare Values

The video tutorial discusses inequality statements involving less than, equal to, and greater than. It presents a problem comparing the numbers -24 and -18, asking viewers to determine their relationship using inequality symbols. The solution is explained using a vertical number line, relating the numbers to temperature. The tutorial also covers absolute values, explaining their positive nature and comparing the absolute values of -24 and -18. The lesson concludes with a summary of how inequality statements are used to compare numbers.
