Question

Which of the following shows the solution to the inequality

Answer 1

I got x = 1

Explanation:

First to isolate the variable you add 3 to both sides which will give you 1/2x is less than or equal to 2. Then divide both sides by 1/2 and you will get x = 1. To check the answer I just did:

`1/2(1) -3 \leq -1\\1/2 -3\leq -1\\-2.5\leq -1`

And since -2.5 is less than -1 this statement is true. x does in fact equal 1
