Exploring Solutions to Inequalities

Mrs. Zimmerman reviews solving equations and introduces solving and graphing inequalities. The lesson covers handling inequalities with variables on the right, using multiplication and division, and solving inequalities involving fractions. Students learn to graph solutions and understand the importance of flipping inequalities when necessary.
