Question

kirby often forgets to switch the inequity sign when dividing a negative. when solving 3x-10≥x, should kirby collect the variables on the left or the right? why?

Answer 1

You should collect the variable on the left side since you can't have two variables of the same letter on each side.so you would take the variable from the right side and subtract it from the left. So subtract x on both sides. Your new problem is 2x-10 is greater than or equal to 0. Now you add 10 on both sides. Your new problem is 2x is greater than or equal to 10. Now divide by 2 on both sides. Your answer would be x is greater than or equal to 5
