Question

(Math Plato)
Twenty-seven minus 3/2 of a number (x) is not more than 36.What is the number?​

Answer 1

The answer to your question is the letter B. x ≥ - 6

Explanation:

-Write an inequality to help to find the answer

27 - 3/2 x ≤ 36

-Solve for x

-Add -27 in both sides

27 - 3/2x - 27 ≤ 36 - 27

-Simplify

-3/2x ≤ 9

-Multiply by 2 both sides

-3(2)/2 x ≤ 9(2)

-Simplify

-3x ≤ 18

-Divide both sides by -3

-3x/-3 ≥ 18/-3

-Simplify

x ≥ - 6
