Question

Choose the inequality that could be used to solve the following problem.

Three times a number is no less than negative six.
3x ≤ -6
3x < -6
3x ≥ -6
3x > -6

Answer 1

3x ≥ -6

Explanation:

Answer 2

Correct choice is C

Explanation:

Let x be unknown number.

Three times a number x is
`3\cdot x=3x.`

Three times a number is no less than negative six means that the number
`3x` can be equal to -6, can be greater than -6, but cannot be less than -6.

Thus, the inequality that could be used to solve the problem is

`3x\ge -6.`
