How to Solve Multi-Step Inequalities

The video tutorial introduces the concept of solving multi-step inequalities, explaining that these require multiple steps to isolate the variable. The instructor outlines the process, emphasizing the importance of combining like terms and isolating the variable. A key difference from solving equations is highlighted: when multiplying or dividing by a negative number, the inequality sign must be flipped. An example problem is solved step-by-step, demonstrating the process and the importance of checking the solution by substituting it back into the original inequality.
