Question

What value of x is in the solution set of 3(x – 4) ≥ 5x + 2? Group of answer choices -5 10 5 -10

Answer 1

Explanation:

3(x – 4) ≥ 5x + 2

3x - 12 ≥ 5x + 2

-12 ≥ 5x - 3x + 2

-12≥ 2x + 2

-12 - 2 ≥ 2x

-14 ≥ 2x

-14/2 ≥ x

-7 ≥ x

So, value of x from the answer choices will be (-10)

-7 ≥ -10
