Question

How are the solutions to the inequality -2x ≥ 10 different from the solutions to -2x > 10?

Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

First lets find the solutions to each inequality.

-2x
`\geq \\`10 and -2x>10 (divide both sides by -2 to solve)

x
`\leq`-5 and x<-5

x
`\leq`-5 tell us that x could be -5 or less.

x<-5 tells us that x could be -6 or less.

The first one is less than or equal to which tells you that there is a possibility that the number is shows is could be an answer

Hope this helps ;)
