Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Solve the inequality 5 - x ≤ 2.
Correct Answer: x ≥ 3
  • Step 1: Start with the inequality 5 - x ≤ 2.
  • Step 2: To isolate -x, subtract 5 from both sides. This gives you -x ≤ 2 - 5.
  • Step 3: Simplify the right side: 2 - 5 equals -3. Now you have -x ≤ -3.
  • Step 4: To solve for x, multiply both sides of the inequality by -1. Remember, when you multiply or divide by a negative number, you must flip the inequality sign. So, -x becomes x, and -3 becomes 3. Now you have x ≥ 3.
