Question

What is the solution for -3x ≥ 36?

Answer 1

Hey there!

To solve for the solutions of your inequality, divide both sides of your inequality by -3 in order to isolate the value of x:

-3x≥36
÷-3  ÷-3

x≤12 
**Note: in inequalities, if you ever divide or multiply a number that is negative, you must flip the inequality sign. In this case, because you have divided -3 from both sides, you must flip the inequality sign from ≥ to ≤.

Therefore, your solutions to your inequality would be x≤12.

Hope this helps, and have a nice day! :)
