Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

x ≤ -14

Explanation:

We assume you want to solve ...

x/(-7) +14 ≥ 16

Subtract 14, then multiply by -7.

x/(-7) ≥ 2 . . . . subtract 14

x ≤ -14 . . . . . . multiplying by a negative number reverses the inequality

The solution is shown on the number line below.
