2x + 7 ≤ 3x - 5
Start by keeping the variable x on the left side of the inequality, and move everything else to the right side.
We can do this by subtracting 3x from both sides and subtracting 7 from both sides.
-x ≤ -12
Divide both sides by -1 to make x a positive; when dividing by a negative number you will flip the inequality sign, so ≤ becomes ≥.
x ≥ 12
Possible solutions for x are any number equal to or greater than 12.
Answer:
-2
Step-by-step explanation:
slope = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1
= 9 - (-3) / -2 -4
= 12 / -6
= -2
So to set up the equation we have:
<span><span><span>4M</span><span>4+M</span></span>=<span>127</span></span>
<span>28M=12(4+M)</span>
<span>28M=48+12M</span>
<span>28K−12M=48</span>
<span>(28−12)M=48</span>
<span>16K=48</span>
<span>M=<span>4816</span></span>
<span>M=3</span>
