Question

Find the solution set for the following problem.

5 diminished by 3 times a number is at most 11.
{x | x ≤ -2}
{x | x ≥ -2}
{x | x ≤ 2}
{x | x ≥ 2}

Answer 1

hmm looks like
5-3x <= 11
-6 <= 3x
-2 <= x

Answer 2

so the second one?

Answer 3

Let the number be 'x'.

5 diminished by by 3 times it means 5 reduced by 3x. and it's atmost 11. that means less than or equal to 11.

So, 5-3x <=11


Solve this inequality, and find the right option. Post to confirm~! ;)
