4x-3/6+2≥2x-1/12 solve then write in interval

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you feel comfortable with the equation version of this inequality, I suggest that you try replacing "greater than or equal to" with simply "is equal to." Solve that step by step. Next, with the previous solution right there, work the same steps with the inequality. Remember to change the direction of the inequality if you multiply/divide both sides by a negative number. As far as the interval, this solution would be in brackets signifying that the endpoints are themselves solutions. It would look something like this: x = [ lower endpoint (most negative), upper endpoint (most positive) ]

is the answer x>= -19/24?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

Now, is your answer the low end or the high end of the possible solutions?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

low end

So, since the problem has a greater than OR to, you would use brackets [] to express the answer. -19/24 is the LOW end, so it goes first. The greater than sign says that x can be anything more positive than -19/24. Therefore, it goes on forever (infinity) in the positive direction. \[x=[-19/24, \infty]\]
