Question

how do i solve the inequality -5x + 8 less than or greater to x - 4

Answer 1

\[\LARGE -5x+8\leq x-4\]
\[\LARGE -5x-x\leq -4-8\]

only when you divide\multiply by a negative number , you swap the sign...
otherwise it's just like an equation...

Answer 2

\[\LARGE -6x\leq -12\]
\[\LARGE 6x\geq 12\]
now divide both sides by 6 and that's it..

Answer 3

where did 6 come from
