Answer:b
Explanation:
Step 1 :
x
Simplify —
4
Equation at the end of step 1 :
x
— - -8 ≥ 0
4
Step 2 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
2.1 Subtracting a whole from a fraction
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 4 as the denominator :
-8 -8 • 4
-8 = —— = ——————
1 4
Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole
Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
2.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:
x - (-8 • 4) x + 32
———————————— = ——————
4 4
Equation at the end of step 2 :
x + 32
—————— ≥ 0
4
Step 3 :
3.1 Multiply both sides by 4
Solve Basic Inequality :
3.2 Subtract 32 from both sides
x ≥ -32
