Solving Multi-Step Linear Inequalities in Two Variables

Compare the inequalities given below. Notice that the first inequality includes one variable. The second inequality, however, includes two variables.

You are familiar with the process needed to solve the first inequality:

When you consider the second inequality, how would you solve that one? How do you solve an inequality that includes two variables?

During this topic, you will learn the process to solve an inequality that includes two variables, as well as how to represent the solutions both algebraically and graphically.
