Question

Solve the inequality for v.

20 ≥ v - 4

Simplify your answer as much as possible.

Answer 1

Add a positive 4 to each side of the equation. Your answer will then look like this: 24 is greater than V. So on a chart V, would have a value less or equal to 24.

Answer 2

Undo the subtraction of 4 by adding 4 to both sides


`20 \ge v - 4`


`20+4 \ge v-4+4`


`24 \ge v`


`v \le 24`

This means v is less than or equal to 24.
In other words, v can be equal to 24 or it can be smaller than 24
