Question

What is the solution for this inequality? 5x ≤ 45

A. x ≥ -9
B. x ≤ 9
C. x ≤ -9
D. x ≥ 9

Answer 1

`x\le \:9`

Explanation:

`5x\le 45`

`(5x)/(5)\le (45)/(5)`

`x\le \:9`

Answer 2

B

Explanation:

We divide the entire inequality by 5 to get rid of the coefficient of x. The ≤ stays the same so we get x ≤ 9.
