Solving a two-step inequality | Linear inequalities | Algebra I | Khan Academy

We're turning up the heat a little and asking you to help us solve a multi-step inequality problem.

Missed the previous lesson?

Algebra I on Khan Academy: Algebra is the language through which we describe patterns. Think of it as a shorthand, of sorts. As opposed to having to do something over and over again, algebra gives you a simple way to express that repetitive process. It's also seen as a "gatekeeper" subject. Once you achieve an understanding of algebra, the higher-level math subjects become accessible to you. Without it, it's impossible to move forward. It's used by people with lots of different jobs, like carpentry, engineering, and fashion design. In these tutorials, we'll cover a lot of ground. Some of the topics include linear equations, linear inequalities, linear functions, systems of equations, factoring expressions, quadratic expressions, exponents, functions, and ratios.

About Khan Academy: Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom. We tackle math, science, computer programming, history, art history, economics, and more. Our math missions guide learners from kindergarten to calculus using state-of-the-art, adaptive technology that identifies strengths and learning gaps. We've also partnered with institutions like NASA, The Museum of Modern Art, The California Academy of Sciences, and MIT to offer specialized content.

For free. For everyone. Forever. #YouCanLearnAnything

Bro this just saved me from failing my math test. Thanks!

[wiseal]

Voice sounds very clear great recording -- Lesson presented very well.

[MrRyanTrott]

I'm half way between College, and Uni here in the UK, and these videos, I honestly cannot say how great they are for keeping my interest and understanding, as well was topping up my knowledge.

Literally Khana, keen it up, you're actually entertaining as well!

[iggy]

Smoothdraw, it's free if you want it. I've used it before and it is a great program.

omg tysm I had trouble with a math homework problem and it was the exact same format as yours—just different numbers!! this was so helpful tysm

[rwihdez]

Couldn't you have added the 8 1/3 to both sides at the beginning to be left with 9 > -4y, thus leading to -9/4 < y in a much simpler fashion than you did?

[paulinev.]

my real math teacher is really confusing and his lectures are quite boring. this video helped me a lot :) thanks!

[tianyang]

it really helped a lot, it is confusing

[cryptidapyr]

What about decimals? Does anyone have a link?

[garyit]

can u have as many numbers on the number

[GraphiteWizard]

simssimsHUMOR: yeah...I have a test tomorrow....

[hanen]

My exams are in two days, and now I finally understand

[itsaims]

I had a test on inequalities today and I did no know a thing because my teacher skipped a lesson on inequalities but the thing is that I stusted and I still got some wrong

[dustidunn]

Khan, could you dumb this down a little bit. (More explaining of actions) thank you.

[E-bunny]

What if your doing consecutive Numbers

[codyrainville]

good on you for trying to get advanced math in the sixth grade, im in grade 12 and im still not fully understanding

[mudvillehustler]

Isn't the last part wrong. The symbol is less than not greater than?
