Question

Which of the following values are solutions to the inequality -5 ≤ x + 5? A) -7 B) -10 C) -3

Answer 1

x ≥ -10

Explanation:

We can solve the given inequality for the variable x by subtracting 5 from both sides:

-5 ≤ x + 5

- 5 - 5

-10 ≤ x

Optionally, we can swap the sides and flip the sign:

x ≥ -10

Further Note

The '≥' sign means "greater than or equal to", which means that the variable being compared can be either the exact value of the constant or anything greater than it.
