Question

Which of the following represents the solution to the inequality -(4)x - 4 ≥ 8?

Answer 1

Answer: x≤-3

Explanation:

`-(4)x-4\geq 8\\-(4)x-(1)(4)\geq (4)(2)`

Divide both parts of the equation by 4:

`-x-1\geq 2\\-x-1+x\geq 2+x\\-1\geq 2+x\\-1-2\geq 2+x-2\\-3\geq x`

Answer 2

Explanation:

-4x ≥ 12 (Add 4 to both sides)

x ≥ -3 (Divide each side by -4)
