Question

What is the solution to the inequality?

-2x - 4 ≤ 11

Thank you!

Answer 1

x≤-7.5

Explanation:

-2x - 4 ≤ 11

Add 4 to both sides

-2x≤15/-2

Divide

x≤-7.5

Answer 2

x ≥ -15/2

Explanation:

-2x - 4 ≤ 11

Add 4 to each side

-2x - 4+4 ≤ 11+4

-2x ≤ 15

Divide each side by -2, remembering to flip the inequality since we are dividing by a negative

-2x/-2 ≥ 15/-2

x ≥ -15/2
