Key concepts students will learn:

  • To isolate the variable in an inequality, perform the same operations on both sides of the inequality.

  • When you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you must flip the inequality sign.

  • The solution set of an inequality can be graphed on a number line using an open circle to exclude the endpoint and an arrow to indicate all values greater than or less than the endpoint.
