Question

Solve for x. − 6 ≥ 10 − 8x.

Answer 1

x ≥ 2

Explanation:

-6 ≥ 10 - 8x

Subtract 10 on both parts.

-6 - 10 ≥ 10 - 8x - 10

-16 ≥ -8x

Divide both parts by -8 remembering to reverse sign.

-16/-8 ≤ (-8x)/-8

2 ≤ x

Switch parts.

x ≥ 2

Answer 2

2</x or x>/2

Explanation:

-6>/10-8x

-10 -10

-16>/-8x

divide both sides by -8

2</x or x>/2

the reason the sign is bc u r dividing by a - number.
