Question

What value of x is in the solution set of 3(x – 4) ≥ 5x + 2? –10 –5 5 10

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of x is in the solution set of 3(x – 4) ≥ 5x + 2 is -10

Solution:

Need to determine which value of x from given option is solution set of 3(x – 4) ≥ 5x + 2

Lets first solve 3(x – 4) ≥ 5x + 2

3(x – 4) ≥ 5x + 2

=> 3x – 12 ≥ 5x + 2

=> 3x – 5x ≥ 12 + 2

=> -2x ≥ 14

=> -x ≥ 7

=> x ≤ -7

All the values of x which are less than or equal to -7 is solution set of 3(x – 4) ≥ 5x + 2. From given option there is only one value that is -10 which is less than -7  

Hence from given option -10 is solution set of 3(x – 4) ≥ 5x + 2.
