Answer:

B) x = 0

Explanation:

To find the solution value that satisfies the inequality x – 6 ≥ –7, you must plug every x value into the x and see which one works.

Plug -5 into x

-5 – 6 ≥ –7

Combine like terms

-11 ≥ –7

This is false, -11 is not greater than or equal to -7.

Plug 0 into x

0 – 6 ≥ –7

Combine like terms

– 6 ≥ –7

This is true, -6 is greater than -7.

Plug -2 into x.

-2 – 6 ≥ –7

Combine like terms

-8 ≥ –7

This is false, -8 is not greater than or equal to -7.

Plug -7 into x.

-7 – 6 ≥ –7

Combine like terms

-13 ≥ –7

This is false, -13 is not greater than or equal to -7.

B) x = 0 is the only solution that is true and works, so that is your answer.

Have a lovely rest of your day! :)
