Question

Solve the inequality for x
0.5x − 4 − 2x ≤ 2

Answer 1

x ≥ -4

Interval notation: [-4, ∞)

Explanation:

We solve for x like we would with a regular equation:

`0.5x-4-2x\leq 2\\-1.5x-4\leq 2\\-1.5x\leq 6\\x\geq -4`

Simply keep in mind that we had to flip the inequality sign since we divided by -1.5 to isolate x.
