Help! Why is this wrong? |Solving and Graphing an Inequality | Math Defined with Mrs. C | 7.EE.B.4

The video tutorial explains how to correctly graph an inequality with fractions on both sides. It highlights common mistakes students make, particularly when the variable is on the right side of the inequality. The tutorial demonstrates how to solve the inequality by isolating the variable and graphing the solution correctly. It emphasizes the importance of rewriting the inequality with the variable on the left side to avoid errors and ensure clarity. The video concludes with a reminder to always check solutions, especially when variables are positioned differently.

What is the first step to isolate the variable B in the inequality?

• Multiply both sides by 5 sevenths

• Subtract 5 sevenths from both sides

• Divide both sides by 5 sevenths

• Add 5 sevenths to both sides

Why do students often make a mistake when graphing the inequality with B on the right side?

• They misinterpret the inequality direction

• They add instead of subtracting

• They forget to subtract fractions

• They use the wrong denominator

What happens when you substitute a value less than -3 sevenths into the inequality?

• The inequality is undefined

• The inequality becomes false

• The inequality remains unchanged

• The inequality becomes true

What is the correct way to rewrite the inequality with the variable on the left side?

• -3 sevenths is equal to B

• B is less than -3 sevenths

• -3 sevenths is greater than B

• B is greater than -3 sevenths

What should you do after rewriting the inequality to ensure the graph is correct?

• Draw an arrow pointing to the left

• Draw an arrow pointing to the right

• Shade all values less than -3 sevenths

• Place a closed circle at -3 sevenths
