Question

Solve.-s/3≥6

A.
s ≥ –2

B.
s ≤ –2

C.
s ≥ –18

D.
s ≤ –18

Answer 1

Simple....

so you have...


`- (s)/(3) \geq 6`

You want to isolate the variable, s, so multiply both sides of the equation by 3 to get rid of the fraction...


`3*- (s)/(3) \geq 6*3`

Leaving you with...

-s
`\geq 18`

Now you can divide...but remember when you divide by a negative for any equality the sign flips....

Making your answer....


`s \leq -18`

Thus, your answer.
