Answer:

x ≥ -3

Explanation:

5(9-x)≤4(x+18)

45-5x≤4x+72

subtract 4 from both sides

45-9x≤72

subtract 45 from both sides

-9x≤27

divide by -9, but when you divide by a negative in an inequality you have to flip the sign

x≥-3

Answer:

-3 ≤ x

Explanation:

5(9-X)≤ 4(X+18)

Distribute on both sides

45 -5x ≤ 4x + 72

Add 5x to each side

45 -5x+5x ≤ 4x+5x + 72

45 ≤ 9x + 72

Subtract 72 from each side

45-72 ≤ 9x + 72 -72

-27 ≤ 9x

Divide by 9

-27/9 ≤ 9x/9

-3 ≤ x
