Solve for x, 3(x – 4) ≥ 5x + 2

Mathematics
1 answer:
Flauer [41]2 years ago
7 0

\Large\textsc{answer :}

x≤-7

\Large\textsc{calculations :}

First , use the distributive property :

3(x-4)≥5x+2

3x-12≥5x+2

Subtract 5x on both sides :

3x-5x-12≥2

Now , add 12 on both sides :

3x-5x≥2+12

3x-5x≥14

Subtract the x's :

-2x≥14

Divide by -2 on both sides and watch what happens :

x≤-7 (notice that the inequality sign changed from "greater than or equal to" to "less than or equal to")

If we divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number , we change the inequality sign .
