Question

Solve the inequality x/5 ≥

6

x/5 as a fraction.

Answer 1

x/5 ≥ (6x)/5

Multiplying across by 5, we get

x ≥ 6x

0 ≥ 6x - x

0 ≥ 5x

We now divide by 5.

0/5 ≥ x

0 ≥ x

The inequality 0 ≥ x is the answer, and it means that x must be less than or equal to zero to make the original question a true statement.
