Question

3. The difference of two-thirds of a number x and6 is at least -24. Which inequality represents allpossible values for x?

Answer 1

We will solve as follows:

The expression represented in the text is:

`(2)/(3)x-6\ge-24`

Now, we solve for x:

`\Rightarrow(2)/(3)x\ge-18\Rightarrow2x\ge-54`
`\Rightarrow x\ge-27`

So, the solution is x >= 27. [Option D]
