Question

7 less than -2 times a number x is greater than or equal to 41.

I was supposed to write an inequality, which I did:

-9x≥41

I am supposed to find the solution set of the inequality. Could I get some help with this? Thanks!

Answer 1

-2x-7≥41 is the equation (you have to first multiply then subtract and that's why you can't combine) 41+7=48 divided by -2 equals -24. Any number less than -24 works so your number range would be from -infinity to -24.
