Answer:

x= -2; x ≥ 2

Explanation:

1. -3x+2=8

Subtract +2 on both sides

-3x+2-2=8-2

-3x=6 Divide by -3 on both sides

-3x/-3=6/-3

x= -2

-2 is the answer for both the equation and inequality.

sorry i was lazy to do the inequality one, but it should be the same answer.

also ignore the fact that theres a line, i could not find the sign without one, o im sorry.
