How Do You Solve a Word Problem Using a Multi-Step Inequality?

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

This real-world word problem seems pretty complicated, but it's really not. It only takes four steps once you have an original expression to solve this problem. There are some negative numbers involved in this inequality. So don't forget that if one of the steps entails multiplying or dividing by a negative number, the sign of the inequality MUST be flipped! Watch this video for a clearer understanding.
