Guided Notes
Key concepts students will learn:
- •
When you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you must swap the inequality sign.
- •
To solve multi-step inequalities, you can use the distributive property and combine like terms to simplify each side before isolating the variable.
- •
The solution to an inequality can be expressed using a number line, where an open circle indicates the endpoint is not included and a closed circle indicates that it is included in the solution.
