HELP!

Solve for x.

−1/3x≤−6



Enter the solution to the inequality in the box.

Answer 1

x
`\geq` 18

Explanation:

Answer 2

Multiplying both sides of −1/3x≤−6 by -3 results in "x is equal to or greater than 18."

Note that multiplying such an inequality requires reversing the direction of the inequality symbol.

I subst. 18 for x in −1/3x≤−6 as a check, and found that the resulting inequality is true.
