Introduction to Solving Inequalities

Solving inequalities is very similar to solving equations, with one important difference: when you multiply or divide by a negative number, you must reverse the inequality symbol.

Most of the time, you solve inequalities exactly like equations. Just remember the special rule for multiplying or dividing by negative numbers!

We'll practice solving one-step and two-step inequalities with rational numbers.
