Lesson Description:
[NOTE: This video is only the first 23 minutes of the full lesson. Please visit my website to purchase/rent complete version] This lesson consists of providing you with a Self-Tutorial on how to solve typical linear inequalities of the form: ax + b > c (any of these symbols: <, >, ≤, ≥ can be used). The tutor goes over how to draw number line graphs. Also covered is the Double Inequality (a < x < b). Properties of Inequalities are reviewed. Answers are presented in Inequality Notation, Interval Notation, and Set Notation. Compound Linear Inequalities are solved and graphed. Finally, English Phrases are translated into inequalities and some Word Problems are solved.

Staff Review
This lesson goes through some definitions of terms for inequalities and how to determine whether a value of a variable is a solution to an inequality. Also, this lesson goes through many different types of problems in which you need to graph an inequality on a number line, write set notation for the solution set, and write interval notation for the solution set. Several different example problems are shown in this video.
