This video explains how to solve inequalities.

This course covers how to add, subtract, multiply and divide whole numbers.

By the end of this short course, you will be able to:

• Multiply integers
• Divide integers
• Simplify expressions with integers
• Evaluate variable expressions with integers
• Translate English phrases to algebraic expressions
• Use integers in applications

By the end of this short course, you will be able to:

• Use negatives and opposites
• Simplify: expressions with absolute value
• Add integers
• Subtract integers

• Use positive and negative numbers to represent quantities in multiple contexts.
• Explain the meaning of positive values, negative values, and zero, in multiple contexts.
• Describe the location of a point on a number line with respect to another number.
• Describe the location of a point on a number line with respect to its opposite
• Define the absolute value of a number as its distance from zero.
• Interpret inequality statements as statements about the relative position of two integers on a number line diagram.

This lesson will be the first of six lessons guiding students in constructing the abstract concepts necessary to understand adding positive and negative integers. It is designed for adult learners (or middle school or older) who are not fluent with using numbers. A real life lesson will be included in this series of lessons-Budgeting.
