Question

Solve for x. Your answer must be simplified. -12x ≤ 44

Answer 1

x ≥ -
`(11)/(3)`

Explanation:

Given

- 12x ≤ 44

Divide both sides by - 12, remembering to reverse the inequality sign as a consequence of dividing by a negative quantity, hence

x ≥
`(44)/(-12)` ← note sign reversed

Dividing the numerator/denominator by 4, gives

x ≥ -
`(11)/(3)`
