Question

the expression 5≤x-2 is equivalent to:

a: x≤7
b:x >7
c: x > (underlined) 3
d: x > (underlined 5/2

Answer 1

5 <= x - 2
Subtract x from both sides:
-x + 5 <= -2
Subtract 5 from both sides
-x <= -7
Multiply both sides by -1. When you multiply or divide an inequality by a negative number, the inequality sign changes direction.
x >= 7
