what is the solution for this inequality ? -4x <= 28

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you solve the equation -4x = 28 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this <= means less than or equal to

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes. it's not an equation. but first, can you solve it if it's an equation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'm not sure ,but it makes sense

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is your answer for x if -4x = 28 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-7 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you still confused or you've got your answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it c ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A ? !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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
