ANSWER: A
_________________
Step-by-step explanation:
{DISCLAIMER: sorry i don’t know where the greater/less than or equal to sign is so imagine it’s there haha)
-8x + 14 (is greater than or equal to)60 OR -4x < 8
conduct problems like these as you would any other problem! :)
on the first side, subtract 14 from both sides so: -8x (is greater than or equal to) 46
divide by -8 on both sides
remember when dividing by a negative with problems involving greater/ less than signs, the sign will flip. so in this case, because we are dividing by a -8, the great than or equal to sign flips around and becomes a less than or equal to sign
so x (is less than or equal to) -46/8
simplify your fraction, and x (is less than or equal to) -23/4
_________________
on the other side: -4x+50 <58
subtract 50 from both sides so: -4x < 8
divide by -4 on both sides so: x > -2
(remember our rule that if we divide by a negative when a sign is present the sign flips)
and there’s your answer!! hope this helps you out:D
