Is that an equals sign?

srry forgot to fix it
Parth (parthkohli):
\[5(x + 6) \le 3x - 4 \]You start by distributing 5 into x + 6.
Parth (parthkohli):
Actually, you solve it exactly like you solve \(5(x + 6) = 3x - 4\)

ok so do 5 * x and 5 * 6 and get 5x * 30
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and do -3x to both sides and get 5x * 30 = -4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i mean 2x * 30 = -4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
That's a +, not a *
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so 2x +30??

2x + 30 = -4. Then +4 to both sides then divide 2 to both sides?
and get, x >= 15?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
listen the equation is 5(x + 6) 3x - 4 this onlyy????
OpenStudy (anonymous):
5(x + 6) <= x - 4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
No, you have to subtract 30 from both sides. If you add 4 to both sides you get 2x+34=0, you need the constant on the other side of the = from the variable.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so 2x + 30 = -4. oh :PP -30 to both sides and divide 2 to both sides?

Right.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
giving me 2x = -34 divide 2 to both sides and get x >= -17?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
>= or <=?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
>= cause i have to flip the signs
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Why?
