Solving Word Problems with Inequalities

The video tutorial teaches how to solve word problems using inequalities. It begins with a cell phone plan comparison, explaining how to set up and solve inequalities. The lesson highlights common mistakes, such as miswriting inequalities. It then demonstrates solving inequalities step-by-step, using additive and multiplicative inverses. The tutorial also covers a field trip cost analysis, comparing costs for a zoo and museum trip using inequalities. The lesson concludes by reinforcing the logical application of inequalities in real-world scenarios.

What are the monthly charges for Plan X and Plan Y?

How do you determine if the second plan is cheaper based on the number of text messages sent?

What is the significance of additive inverses in solving inequalities?

How can you verify that your solution to the inequality is correct?

Explain the process of solving the inequality to find the number of students needed for the museum to be a better deal.
