Question

Solve the following inequality: 6x - 9 ≥ 11x - 17.

1. x<=5/8
2.x>=8/5
3.x>=5/8
4.x<=8/5

Answer 1

x ≤8/5

Explanation:

6x - 9 ≥ 11x - 17

Subtract 6x from each side

6x -6x-9 ≥ 11x - 17-6x

-9 ≥ 5x- 17

Add 17 to each side

-9+17≥ 5x - 17+17

8≥ 5x

Divide each side by 5

8/5≥ 5x /5

8/5≥ x
