Solve the linear inequality.
1 -7/9x is greater than or equal to 2

anonymous · Answer

1. Subtract 1 from both sides.
2. Divide by (-7/9) on both sides. Remember that when dividing by a negative number, you have to switch the direction of the sign.

1-7/9x is greater than or equal to 2, -7/9x is greater than or equal to 2-1, -7/9x is greater than 1, x is greater than or equal to 1/1 times -9/7
x is less than or equal to 9/7

negative 1 2/7
