Question

Select the correct solution set.
x + 17 ≤ -3

(A){x | x ≤ -20}
(B){x | x ≤ 14}
(C){x | x ≥ -20}

Answer 1

Solve this inequality for x exactly the way you would solve it if it were an equation.

Answer 2

justpicksomethin, I think you meant A and not C

Answer 3

Thanks!

Answer 4

oh yeah, it's A, sorry about the typo

Answer 5

the answer is A, because all you have to do is subtract 17 from both sides of the inequality
you wouldn't change the direction of the sign because you aren't dividing by a negative number
