Question

Which of the following represents the inequality 6x -2 ≥
≥
10

Answer 1

2nd choice

Explanation:

6x - 2 ≥ 10

add 2 to both sides

6x - 2 + 2 ≥ 10 + 2

6x ≥ 12

divided b0th sides by 6 to get x alone

6x/6 ≥ 12/6

x ≥ 2

x is greater than or equal to 2

equal to 2 is shown by a shaded in circle (cannot be option 3 or 4)

x is bigger than 2 so the arrow is to the right

Answer 2

Option 2

Explanation:

`6x-2 \geq 10 \\ \\ 6x \geq 12 \\ \\ x \geq 2`

So, we want a graph with a closed circle at 2 with the arrow pointing to the right.
