The answer is x ≥ -3

Step by step explanation:

-4x - 10 ≤ 2

-4x ≤ 2 + 10

-4x ≤ 12

-4x/-4 ≥ 12/-4

x ≥ -3

Remember when you times or divide with a negative number, the sign changes.

Hope it helps!

Answer:

x≥−3

Explanation:

−4x−10≤2

Add 10 to both sides.

−4x≤2+10

Add 2 and 10 to get 12.

−4x≤12

Divide both sides by −4. Since −4 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.

x≥12/-4

Divide 12 by −4 to get −3.

x≥−3
