Solving One Step Inequalities in One Variable

The video tutorial covers solving one-step inequalities in one variable. It begins with defining inequalities and familiarizing viewers with the necessary symbols. The tutorial then explains how to graph inequalities on a number line, using examples to illustrate open and closed circles. It proceeds to demonstrate solving inequalities using algebraic methods, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The video concludes with solving word problems involving inequalities, providing practical examples to apply the concepts learned.
