Question

Solve the following equation. Then place the correct number in the box provided. 3(2x + 5) ≥ 2(x + 6)

Answer 1

The correct answer is x≥-3/4

Explanation:

To solve this equation, first we have to expand it:

3(2x+5)≥2(x+6)

Then

3*2x+3*5≥2*x+2*6

Thus,

6x+15≥2x+12

passing terms to each side:

6x-2x≥12-15

4x≥-3

x≥-3/4
