Question

Which values are in the solution set of the inequality -9/4x+12≥-8? Select all that apply. A. 6 B. 7 C. 8 D. 10 E. 11

Answer 1

A, B, C
Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: A, B, C

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for the inequality, we would solve it as if it had an equals sign.

$-\frac{9}{4} x+12\geq -8$             [subtract both sides by 12]

$-\frac{9}{4} x\geq -20$                   [multiply both sides by -4/9, remember to flip inequality]

$x\leq \frac{80}{9}$

Now, we know that the solution is less than or equal to 80/9, which is approximately 8.89.

Looking at the answer choices, A, B and C are the answers since they are both less than 8.89.
