Question

Should it be facing left or right ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Facing Right

Step-by-step explanation:

Given inequalities are:

4-x≤-1

Subtracting 4 from both sides

4-x-4≤-1-4

-x≤-5

Multiplying both sides with -1. Multiplying with a negative number changes the sign of the inequality

So,

x≥5

Second Inequality:

2+3x≥17

Subtracting 2 from both sides

2+3x-2≥17-2

3x≥15

Dividing both sides by 3

x≥5

Union of both solutions:

x≥5 ∩ x≥5

=> x≥5

Hence the solution will be facing right on the number line towards all numbers greater than or equals to 5 ..
