Question

Solve: −3(5+8x)−20≤−11

Let '<=' represent ≤ and '>=' represent ≥ in the drop down box below:

Answer 1

-3(5 + 8x) - 20 ≤ -11 |use distributive property: a(b + c) = ab + ac

-15 - 24x - 20 ≤ -11

-35 - 24x ≤ -11 |add 35 to both sides

-24x ≤ 24 |change signs

24x ≥ -24 |divide both sides by 24

x ≥ -1
