Question

Solve for x. −7≥13−5x

Answer 1

The answer to this is 4 ≤ x

In order to find this, follow the order of operations.

−7 ≥ 13 − 5x ----> Subtract 13 from both sides

-20 ≥ -5x -----> Divide by -5

4 ≤ x (NOTE: the sign changes direction when dividing by a negative.

Answer 2

Solve for x:

−7    ≥     13      −    5x

Let's solve your inequality step-by-step.

−7         ≥      13       −       5x

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the inequality.

−7≥      −      5x      +      13

Step 2: Flip the equation.

−5x     +      13       ≤        −7

Step 3: Subtract 13 from both sides.

−5x      +     13     −     13     ≤      −     7    −    13

−5x       ≤        −      20

Step 4: Divide both sides by -5.

−5x/  −5       ≤       −20/ −5

x      ≥    4

Answer:         x       ≥      4
