Answer:

Explanation:

- 38d - 57 ≥ - 19d + 76

- 38d + 38d - 57 - 76 ≥ - 19d + 38d + 76 - 76

-133 ≥ 19d

-133/19 ≥ 19/19d

-7 ≥ d

Answer:


d\leq -7

Explanation:

Move all terms containing
d to the left side of the inequality.

Add
-19d to both sides of the inequality.


-38d-57+19d\geq 76

Add
-38 and
19d.

Move all terms not containing
d to the right side of the inequality.

Add
57 to both sides of the inequality.


-19d\geq 76+57

Add
76 and
57.


-19d\geq 133

Divide each term by
-19 and simplify.

Divide each term in
-19d\geq 133 by
-19. When multiplying or dividing both sides of an inequality by a negative value, flip the direction of the inequality sign.


(-19d)/(-19) \leq (133)/(-19)

Cancel the common factor


\leq (133)/(-19)

Divide
133 by
-19.


d\leq -7

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Inequality Form:


d\leq -7

Interval Notation:


(- { \infty} ,-7]
