Question

What value of x is in the solution set of 3(x - 4) = 5x + 2?

Answer 1

Answer:

- 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3(x - 4) ≥ 5x + 2 ← distribute left side

3x - 12 ≥ 5x + 2 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

- 12 ≥ 2x + 2 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

- 14 ≥ 2x ( divide both sides by 2 )

- 7 ≥ x ⇒ x ≤ - 7

The only value from the list that is in the solution set is

x = - 10

Answer 2

Answer:

I would go with -10

Step-by-step explanation:

5(-10)= -50

-50+2=-48

3(-10)= -30

3(-4)=-12

-30+-12=-42

so -42 is greater than or equal to -48.

In this case it would be bigger.
