How do I solve and graph this inequality? 12x + 4 ≥ 16 or 3x – 5 ≤ –14

Question

anonymous · Answer

Solve it like an equation but remember that the inequality changes if you divide or multiply by a negative number.

I am new to this, could you help me do this problem? If I solve it like an equation... where do I start?

anonymous · Answer

Ok, so the first inequality is 
$$12x \ge 16-4$$
$$12x \ge $$
$$x \ge \frac{ 12 }{ 12 }$$
$$x \ge 1$$

anonymous · Answer

$$12x \ge 12$$

anonymous · Answer

Okay, got it... so then is the second one x $$x \le 6$$ ?

anonymous · Answer

$$3x \le -14+5$$
$$3x \le -9$$
$$x \le \frac{ -9 }{ 3 }$$
$$x \le -3$$

Oh, okay, I think I see what I did wrong here... so then to graph this...?

anonymous · Answer

Just ask questions if you have any. Graphing it is actually really simple, do you know what a numberline is?
