Answer:
x ≥-3
Explanation:
7 − 9x − (x + 12) less than or equal to 25
7 − 9x − (x + 12) ≤ 25
Distribute the minus sign
7 − 9x − x - 12 ≤ 25
Combine like terms
− 10x −5 ≤ 25
Add 5 to each side
− 10x −5+5 ≤ 25+5
− 10x ≤ 30
Divide by -10. Remember that this flips the inequality
− 10x/-10 ≥30/-10
x ≥-3
