Solving a Two-Step Inequality | Math with Mr. J

What is the main goal when solving a two-step inequality?

• Find the exact value of the variable.

• Isolate the variable.

• Multiply both sides by a negative number.

• Flip the inequality symbol.

When solving an inequality, under what condition must you flip the inequality symbol?

• Adding a number to both sides.

• Subtracting a number from both sides.

• Multiplying or dividing both sides by a negative number.

• Multiplying or dividing both sides by a positive number.

For the inequality 7x - 3 > 18, what is the first step to isolate the variable?

• Divide both sides by 7.

• Subtract 3 from both sides.

• Add 3 to both sides.

• Multiply both sides by 7.

After performing the first step on 7x - 3 > 18, which results in 7x > 21, what is the next step to solve for x?

• Subtract 7 from both sides.

• Divide both sides by 7.

• Multiply both sides by 7.

• Add 21 to both sides.
