One Step Inequalities

When solving an inequality, use the inverse/opposite operation, just like when solving equations (except for a small exception that we will review later!).

• Got it! Just like in the video!

• Oh! I remember that now!

Here's the exception! When you multiply or divide both sides of the inequality by a negative number, you must flip/reverse the inequality sign!

• Got it! Just like in the video!

• Hmmm, I hope I remember. Feeling shaky!
