first strike off the obvious ones

ganeshie8 · Answer

wat did u get after solving the inequality ?

jhannybean · Answer

$$\large 2x-1 \ge -7$$$$\large 2x +1-1 \ge -7 +1$$$$\large 2x \ge -6$$$$\large x \ge ?$$

i got x<=-3

ganeshie8 · Answer

look at jhanny work... you must get x >= -3

jhannybean · Answer

What @ganeshie8 meant was to cancel out the options that had the sign flipped. You only flip the inequality sign when you're dividing or multiply by the coefficient of the variable you are evaluating for.
