Question

Solve the inequality for #5 Please! (Ignore my horrible handwriting im a lefty lol)

Answer 1

Question:

Solve the inequality:

5.1 – r ≥ 5

Answer:

r ≤ 0.1

Solution:

Step 1: Given inequality:

5.1 – r ≥ 5

Step 2: Subtract 5.1 from both sides of the inequality

⇒ 5.1 – r – 5.1 ≥ 5 – 5.1

⇒ – r ≥ – 0.1

Step 3: To reverse the inequality, multiply both sides by –1.

⇒ (–r) × (–1) ≥ – 0.1 × (–1)

Negative × Negative = Positive

⇒ r ≤ 0.1

Hence the solution to the given inequality is r ≤ 0.1.
