Question

–7a ≤ 56

A)

a ≤ –8

B)

a ≥ 8

C)

a = –8

D)

a ≥ –8

Answer 1

Answer: B) a ≥ 8

Explanation:

To solve the inequality 7a ≤ 56, you need to isolate 'a' on one side of the inequality. Here's how you do it:

1. Divide both sides by 7 to isolate 'a':

(7a) / 7 ≤ (56) / 7

This simplifies to:

a ≤ 8

So, the solution to the inequality is:

a ≤ 8

Therefore, the correct option is:

B) a ≥ 8
