Answer:x=0
Step-by-step explanation:
subtract 3 from both sides
3=3=x+3-5x-3
simplify
0=x-5x
switch sides
x-5x
add similar elements ; x-5x=-4x
-4x=0
divided both side by -4
-4x/-4 . = . 0/-4
=0

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
-5x - 1 ≤ -9
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Add 1 to both sides: -5x ≤ -8
- Divide -5 on both sides: x ≥ 8/5
Here we see that any value <em>x</em> greater than or equal to 1.6 would work as a solution.
Therefore, our answer is A. 1, as it doesn't work as a solution.
