This is a free lesson from our course in Algebra I
In this lesson you learn how to solve linearinequalities and also graph them. An inequality is an algebraic expression with one of these signs:
<, >, <=, >=. For example 2x + 3y >= 5. A
solution of an inequality is a number which when substituted for the variable makes
the inequality a true statement. To graph solution set of linear inequality,for instance,they'd ask you to graph something like x > 2. How did you do it? You would draw your number line, find the "equals" part (in this case, x = 2), mark this point with the appropriate notation (an open dot or a parenthesis, indicating that the point x = 2 wasn't included in the solution), and then you'd shade everything to the right, because "greater than" meant "everything off to the right". The steps for graphing two-variable linear inequalities are very much the same.

As many of you know, Winpossible's online courses use a unique teaching method where
an instructor explains the concepts in any given area to you in his/her own voice
and handwriting, just like you see your teacher explain things to you on a blackboard
in your classroom. This particular lesson includes the teacher's instruction, practice
questions as well as end-of-lesson quizzes for practice. As we mentioned above,
you can

The format of Winpossible's online courses is also very suitable for teachers who
are using an interactive whiteboard such as Smartboard on Promethean in their classrooms,
because the course lessons can be easily displayed on such interactive whiteboards.
Volume pricing is available for schools interested in our online courses. For more
