This video tutorial covers modeling and solving two-step inequalities using algebra tiles. It explains the components of inequalities, demonstrates how to model them with algebra tiles, and provides step-by-step instructions for solving them. The tutorial includes example problems and real-world applications, such as budgeting, to illustrate the concepts. It also discusses understanding solutions and graphing inequalities. The lesson concludes with a summary and an introduction to the next part of the lesson.

What is the purpose of using algebra tiles in modeling inequalities?

• To make the lesson more colorful

• To solve equations faster

• To visually represent the components of an inequality

• To avoid using numbers

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

• Dividing both sides by the variable

• Subtracting the constant from both sides

• Multiplying both sides by the coefficient

• Adding a constant to both sides

How can algebra tiles be represented if physical tiles are not available?

• By using colored pencils

• By drawing them on paper

• By using a calculator

• By imagining them

What does the line between two sides of a mat represent in an inequality?

• An addition symbol

• An equal sign

• An inequality symbol

• A subtraction symbol

Why must the inequality symbol be reversed when dividing by a negative coefficient?

• To avoid negative numbers

• To make the equation simpler

• Because it is a rule of thumb

• To maintain the inequality's truth

In the context of inequalities, what does the term 'zero pair' refer to?

• Two numbers that add up to zero

• A pair of variables

• Two numbers that multiply to zero

• A pair of constants

In the example of Emma's budget, what does the 'per' in 'four dollars per yard' indicate?

• Division

• Subtraction

• Addition

• Multiplication

What is a solution to an inequality?

• A single number that makes the inequality false

• A number or set of numbers that make the inequality true

• Any number greater than zero

• A number that makes the inequality equal

What does it mean if y is greater than or equal to nine?

• y must be less than nine

• y is exactly nine

• y can only be nine

• y can be nine or any number greater

What is the significance of writing two-step inequalities?

• To avoid using variables

• To solve complex equations

• To represent relationships between non-equivalent quantities

• To show relationships between equivalent quantities
