Question

Can someone please help me solve for the value of x

Answer 1

Answer:

x ≤ - 3

Explanations:

The given inequality is:

-1 ≥ 2x + 5

Subtract 5 from both sides

-1 - 5 ≥ 2x + 5 - 5

-6 ≥ 2x

This can also be written as:

2x ≤ -6

Divide both sides by 2

`\begin{gathered} (2x)/(2)\le(-6)/(2) \\ x\text{ }\le\text{ -3} \end{gathered}`

The number line representing the solution x ≤ -3 is shown below:
