Question

Solve the inequality for x
-16≥-2x

Answer 1

x ≥ 8

Explanation:

We need to isolate x on one side of the inequality sign to solve the inequality for x.

Here's how you can do that:

Given inequality:

`\sf -16 \geq -2x`

Divide both sides by -2. When you divide by a negative number, the inequality sign flips.

`\sf (-16 )/(-2) \leq x`

Simplify:

`\sf 8 \leq x`

So, the solution to the inequality is x ≥ 8.
