Wednesday - Learn & Practice: Inequalities and What the Answer Means

Practice solving inequalities, reading what the answer means, and learning from a common process mistake.

Quick Review

Start With the Rule

Solving inequalities is like solving equations, but there is one major exception: When you multiply or divide by a negative number, you must reverse the inequality symbol.

Guided Examples

Watch the Inequality Change

Example 1

Guided Example 1 (Basic inequality)

x + 5 < 12

Step-by-step solution:

  1. x + 5 < 12 Start
Example 2

Guided Example 2 (Reversing the symbol)

-3x ≥ 9

Solution:

  1. -3x ≥ 9 Start

Midweek Mistake Check

Find the Step to Fix

First, look at the incorrect solution. Then identify what happened.

-2x + 4 > 10

-2x > 6

x > -3

Think about: What did they do right? Where is the mistake? Why is it a mistake? How do you fix it? Type of Mistake

Where is the mistake?

Wednesday Exit Check

Check What You Can Do Next
