Question

–2(x – 3) ≥ 5 – (x + 3)
show your work please.

Answer 1

Any ideas?

Answer 2

yea i here

Answer 3

i know you have to combine like terms but im confused on how to do that because they are on both sides.

Answer 4

OK, simplify each side of the inequality as needed.

Answer 5

-2x-3≥ 6+3x

Answer 6

is that correct ?

Answer 7

Not quite, first work on the left hand side, using the distributive property of multiplication with respect to subtraction as follows.

Answer 8

see its done

Answer 9

Now go to the right hand side and simplify.

Answer 10

the right side would be
5x+8 .
i think

Answer 11

nopes u can solve it as equation and it will be x>=-4 the shortest form

Answer 12

chechk out the file i uploaded..

Answer 13

Not quite, you should be very careful with the minus sign as follows:

Answer 14

@alexashea1997 look at this file

Answer 15

dont mean to be rude or anything but i could barley read it.

Answer 16

sorry i did a mistake sorry

Answer 17

x>=+4

Answer 18

-2(x-3)>=5-(x+3)
-2x+6>=-x+2
-2x+6-2>=-x+2-2
-2x+4>=-x
(-1)(-2x+4)>=(-1)(-x)
2x-4>=x
2x-4-x>=x-x
x-4.=0
x-4+4>=0+4
x>=4
clear now @alexashea1997

Answer 19

im sorry but can you do the whole problem because you just doing one side is confusing. i promise this is not part of a test these are practice questions and not part of my grade

Answer 20

@alexashea1997 We have to work on simplifying one side at a time, so that we will be able, later to combine both sides and get answer.

Answer 21

Did you follow what I did above?

Answer 22

yea. i get what your doing now.
so the simplified equation is.......
-2+6≥ 2-x ?

Answer 23

You missed the "x" on the left hand side?

Answer 24

oh yea opps !

Answer 25

what the next step ?

Answer 26

-2x + 6 ≥ 2 - x

Answer 27

Now we can solve the entire inequality by first adding 2x to both sides.
