Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
Solve the inequality -3x + 2 ≤ 5. What is the solution?
Correct Answer: x ≥ -1
Step 1: Start with the inequality -3x + 2 ≤ 5.
Step 2: Subtract 2 from both sides to isolate the term with x. This gives you -3x ≤ 5 - 2.
Step 3: Simplify the right side. Now you have -3x ≤ 3.
Step 4: To solve for x, divide both sides by -3. Remember, when you divide by a negative number, you must flip the inequality sign. So it becomes x ≥ -1.
