Solve for x, 3(x – 4) ≥ 5x + 2

Mathematics

Flauer [41]2 years ago

\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 .

Does this graph show a function? Explain how you know.
Andrew [12]

Answer: C

Because it fails the vertical line test.

Put a pencil vertical on the graph.

Drag it along, if there are 2 lines that touch the pencil, it fails the test.

If there's only one, it passes.
