[5.01] Part 1: Solve the inequality 3(x + 6) greater than or equal to 4x - 2 and show all of your work. You can use >= to represent the greater than or equal to symbol. Part 2: Use complete sentences to describe the graph of the solution from Part 1.

hmm... well if x equaled 20 then the expressions would be equal.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which course is this? You can always check lesson 1 in module five and skim through the info there to hep you.

i don't need help, i need to finish this assignment so i can go to homecoming on Saturday. I passed this course but my mom made me re-take it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, so basically your answer is x ≤ 20

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know but i need the equation steps for solving

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so I can turn it into complete sentences

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3(x + 6) >= 4x - 2 3x+18≥4x−2 −x≥−20 x≤20 so the graph is a solid line going vertically through (20,0) with shading to the right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Shading to the LEFT!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you soooo much

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol, k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what did you do for each line?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3(x + 6) >= 4x - 2 3x+18≥4x−2 : I simplified the expession on the first side of the equal side by multiplying 3 into the other terms.... Then...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

−x≥−20 - then I subtracted 4x from both sides of the equation getting a -x on both sides and suntracted 18 from both sides getting -x >= -20 x≤20 after that I divided the entire inequality by -1 which flipped the signs because I dividded the equation by a negative number and the negative sign went away because a negative divided by a negative is a positive.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you super duper muchhh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No problem! Sorry It took so long to get the full answer, it took me a sec remember everything from this lesson because i did it some months ago.
