Exploring Writing Inequalities

This video tutorial introduces inequalities, explaining how to compare expressions using inequality symbols. It covers writing inequalities from word problems, identifying solutions, and graphing inequalities on a number line. The tutorial emphasizes understanding key terms like 'at most' and 'at least' and provides examples to illustrate these concepts.

What does an inequality compare?

• Expressions to determine their relationship

• Two numbers to determine which is smaller

• Expressions to determine which is greater

• Two equations to find their sum

What does the keyword 'at least' imply in an inequality?

• The value is less than a certain number

• The value is greater than or equal to a certain number

• The value is not equal to a certain number

• The value is exactly a certain number
