Equality Properties

Explanation:

Step 1: Define Inequality

-4x + 10 ≥ 5x + 55

Step 2: Solve for x

1. Add 4x on both sides: 10 ≥ 9x + 55
2. Isolate x term: -45 ≥ 9x
3. Isolate x: -5 ≥ x
4. Rewrite: x ≤ -5

Here we see that any value x smaller than or equal to -5 would work as a solution to the inequality.
