what is the solution for this inequality ? -4x <= 28
can you solve the equation -4x = 28 ?
i don't think it's an equation i was thinking b is the answer . A. x > -7 B. x < 7 C. x < -7 D. x > 7
this <= means less than or equal to
yes. it's not an equation. but first, can you solve it if it's an equation?
i'm not sure ,but it makes sense
what is your answer for x if -4x = 28 ?
-7 ?
correct. you can work inequality like you work an equation so, if -4x = 28 you got x = -7 but for inequality -4x <= 28 didn't mean x <= -7 remember, in negative number, -3 < -2 (though 3 > 2) so, if you found -x <= a, that means x >= -a so, can you find the answer of your question now?
are you still confused or you've got your answer?
is it c ?
no, it's not for inequality -x <= a, it's the same as x >= -a if -4x <= 28, it's the same as 4x >= -28 so the answer is ?
A ? !
yes. the answer for -4x <= 28 should be x >= -7 though but if there's no option for that, A is the best option. have you understood? please tell me if you're still confused
