Question

Solve the following inequality.

17 s-3x+2≤26
OA <<-
OB.
<<-
C. 15 ≤ ≤ 24
D. -8 <=< -5

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

Answer 2

`x\geq (17s)/(3)-8`.

Explanation:

1. Write the expression.

`17s-3x+2\leq 26`

2. Substract 17s and 2 from both sides of the comparison symbol.

`-3x\leq 26-17s-2`

3. Simplify.

`-3x\leq 24-17s`

4. Multiply both sides by -1 (reverse the inequality).

`3x\geq 17s-24`

5. Divide both sides by 3.

`x\geq (17s-24)/(3)`

6. Sepparate the fractions.

`x\geq (17s)/(3)-(24)/(3)`

7. Simplify.

`x\geq (17s)/(3)-8`.
