Solving Inequalities - YourTeacher.com - Algebra Help

For a complete lesson on solving inequalities, go to http://www.yourteacher.com - 1000+ online math lessons featuring a personal math teacher inside every lesson! In this lesson, students learn that when solving an inequality, such as --3x is less than 12, the goal is the same as when solving an equation: to get the variable by itself on one side. Note that when multiplying or dividing both sides of an inequality by a negative number, the direction of the inequality sign must be switched. For example, to solve --3x is less than 12, divide both sides by --3, to get x is greater than -4. And when graphing an inequality on a number line, less than or greater than means an open dot, and less than or equal to or greater than or equal to means a closed dot.

if he can explain that in 2:52, then why does my teacher have to stand infront and explain it for like whole hour?

@qbjdog Because a classroom is not a place to learn, learning must be done on your own time, and own studying. in your own environment.

@TheMagicalPuffBunny Yup it's just a small unit of pre-algebra. I remember doing that in elementary too. Later, you'll see it again, but you'll do more difficult problems.
