Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If 7 - 3x ≤ 1, what is the value of x?
Correct Answer: x ≥ 2
  • Step 1: Start with the inequality 7 - 3x ≤ 1.
  • Step 2: To isolate the term with x, subtract 7 from both sides: -3x ≤ 1 - 7.
  • Step 3: Simplify the right side: -3x ≤ -6.
  • Step 4: Now, divide both sides by -3. Remember, when you divide by a negative number, you must flip the inequality sign: x ≥ 2.
