Question

Which value is a solution to the inequality 13−x≤−29?

A. -17
B. 48
C. 41
D. -43
If x is the solution to the inequality, what does the expression 13−x represent?

A. The sum of 13 and x.
B. The difference between 13 and x.
C. The product of 13 and x.
D. The quotient of 13 and x.

Answer 1

The solution to the inequality 13-x ≤ -29 is any value greater than or equal to 42. The expression 13-x represents the difference between 13 and x.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the solution to the inequality 13-x ≤ -29, we need to isolate x.

First, we subtract 13 from both sides of the inequality: -x ≤ -42.

Then, we multiply both sides by -1 to change the direction of the inequality: x ≥ 42.

Therefore, the solution to the inequality is any value greater than or equal to 42.

The expression 13-x represents the difference between 13 and x.

It shows us how much larger or smaller x is than 13.
