Question

Solve. 2x + 6 ≥ –4 A. x ≥ –8 B. x ≤ –8 C. x ≥ –5 D. x ≤ –5

Answer 1

Answer: C

x ≥ -5

Explanation:

2x + 6 ≥ –4

combine the like terms

2x ≥ -4 - 6

2x ≥ -10

divide both sides by 2

x ≥ -10/2

x ≥ -5

Hope this helps

the first person was correct.

Answer 2

`2x + 6 \geqslant - 4 \Leftrightarrow x + 3 \geqslant - 2\Leftrightarrow x \geqslant - 5\\ \Rightarrow C. \: x \geqslant - 5`
