Question

Choose the inequality that could be used to solve the following problem. Three times a number is no less than negative six.

Options:
A. 3x>−6
B. 3x≥−6
C. 3x<6
D. 3x≤6

Answer 1

The inequality that could be used to solve the problem is 3x≥−6.

Step-by-step explanation:

The inequality that could be used to solve the problem is B. 3x≥−6.

This inequality states that three times a number is no less than negative six. By multiplying a number by 3, the resulting value must be greater than or equal to -6.

For example, if we substitute a number like -2 into the inequality, we get 3*(-2) = -6, which is equal to -6. Since the inequality is 'greater than or equal to', -2 satisfies the inequality.
