Question

Solve this
18 ≤ −6x − 30

Answer 1

x
`\geq` -8

Explanation:

First I'm going to add 30 to both sides because I hate dealing with negative numbers, ESPECIALLY when it's on the side with x.

48
`\leq` -6x

Great luck! 48 is a multiple of both 6 and -6 so we will simply divide both sides by positive 6

8
`\leq` -x

We can NEVER keep x negative in these kinds of problems. GET OUTA HERE. Let's divide both sides by -1.

-8
`\leq` x

Your teacher might want you to put the x on the left side. It's very common and important to do so:

x
`\geq` -8
