149. Eugene and Wes are solving the inequality 132 − 4x ≤ 36. Each begins by subtracting 132 from both sides to get −4x ≤ −96, and then each divides both sides by −4. Eugene gets x ≤ 24 and Wes gets x ≥ 24, however. Show who is correct by substituting x = 0 into both the original inequality and the answer.
