How Do You Use Subtraction to Solve an Inequality Word Problem?

This inequality word problems activity is ideal to assess your learners' understanding of inequality and linear concepts around solving and writing equations and inequalities. Equations, graphs and real-life scenarios are used to...

Three word problems involving measurements, percentages, and expenditures are the focus of this video. Sal shows how to translate word problems into solvable equations.

Concepts from the last few videos, particularly exponential growth and decay functions, are covered in this video about word problems. Viewers can apply their new (or growing) algebraic knowledge to solve the word problems along with Sal.

Word problems are a problem no more with this helpful and informative video. Sal demonstrates different ways to solve typical algebraic word problems (and one geometry problem), especially how to translate the word problem into an...

In this video, Sal solves a word problem sent in by a listener with two cyclists riding towards each other over a given time. It is an interesting problem regarding ratios and the relationship between distance, rate, and time. He shows...

Sal starts to solve a trigonometric word problem of a wayward ship captain who veers off course and once aware of his predicament, needs to know how far he is from his destination. Instead of using the Law of Cosines in his solution, Sal...

A word problem that needs to be written as an inequality to solve. This expression seems pretty straightforward and only takes one step to solve. But wait, the division property was used with a negative number so the inequality sign has...

Solve this real world word problem in just one written step. The original inequality is a division problem, so to solve it, use the multiplication property of inequality. Was the problem solved by multiplying a negative number? Yes! So...

A word problem with one variable and two given numbers. This word problem seems doable from the start. Wait, it's an inequality. Don't worry about that piece, just get the expression written and do the math. Watch this video and see how...
