Question

Please help I’m not sure how to do this and I’m struggling

Answer 1

1.1     Pull out like factors :

  -8x - 2  =   -2 • (4x + 1)

2.1    Divide both sides by  -2

Remember to flip the inequality sign:

2.2    Divide both sides by  4  

     x+(1/4)  ≥ 0

Solve Basic Inequality :

2.3      Subtract  1/4  from both sides

           x ≥ -1/4

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide both sides by -8 to get x by itself.

-8x  ≤ 2

-8x/-8 = x

2/-8 = -0.25

What you're left with is x  ≤ -.25

Since you divided you have to switch the signs.

x ≥ -.25
