so it can have a better balence
Step-by-step explanation:
4>-3
-2>-5

They want to make sure you understand inequalities and know how to use the inequality signs.
-3(5 + 8x) - 20 ≤ -11 |use distributive property: a(b + c) = ab + ac
-15 - 24x - 20 ≤ -11
-35 - 24x ≤ -11 |add 35 to both sides
-24x ≤ 24 |change signs
24x ≥ -24 |divide both sides by 24
x ≥ -1
