Watch it explained

  1. How it worksHow do the coefficient and the constant of an inequality split into a rate and a ceiling?
  2. Worked exampleExplain what 0.55 and 40 each mean in 0.55m + 12 is at most 40 for a taxi ride of m miles.
  3. Common mistakeWhy isn't the solution of an inequality a single number the way an equation's solution is?
  4. Going furtherWhat changes about the constant when a fee is charged once per trip instead of per mile?
