Answer:

a, b) no solution

Explanation:

The solution of your inequality on real numbers can be used to inform the solution for other domains.

__

11x -3 ≥ 28x +10

-13 ≥ 17x . . . . . . . . subtract (11x+10)

-13/17 ≥ x . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

__

a)

If x is an integer, there is no least possible value. x will approach negative infinity. (no solution)

__

b)

There are no negative prime numbers, so there are no values of x that are prime. (no solution)
