Question

–2(x – 3) ≥ 5 – (x + 3) SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN STEP BY STEP SMH...

Answer 1

at the left side of that....use distribute multiplication
while on the right side multiply -1 to x and 3 then do the operation

Answer 2

–2(x – 3) ≥ 5 – (x + 3) okay so its look like that now -2x + 6 ≥ 5 -1x -3 like that?

Answer 3

yes! you're correct! now combine like terms..

Answer 4

how to do that?

Answer 5

see those values with x? combine them at one side: either left or right...but I prefer it to be on the right side since -2x will be 2x which is greater than -x ..
then those constant at the other..
NOTE: it is the same as –2(x – 3) = 5 – (x + 3)

Answer 6

oh so we add -2x and -1x

Answer 7

\[–2x + 6 ≥ 5 –x - 3\]
\[ 6+3-5 \ge 2x - x\]
\[4 \ge x\]

Answer 8

how did you get that second part??

Answer 9

notice that when you transfer a value to its' opposite side, it changes sign...

Answer 10

\[–2x + 6 ≥ 5 –x - 3\] how did go from this to this \[ 6+3-5 \ge 2x - x\]

Answer 11

like i said..simply combine those values with x and combine those values without x.
now, i combined 6,3,and5.
on the first part, notice that 3 is negative and when i transferred it to the left side it became positive...
as when i transferred 5 to the left,
notice that 5 became negative.

Answer 12

oh kk i understand now what do we do??

Answer 13

@unkabogable

Answer 14

do the operation then it will be:
\[4 \ge x\]
