Solve the inequality 12 + 4x ≤ 5x − 2

OpenStudy (jenniferjuice):

._. ive got to show all my steps

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

Well first off get x by itself. What would be the 1st step to that?

OpenStudy (jenniferjuice):

12 + 4x = 5x -2 +2 +2

OpenStudy (jenniferjuice):

like that?

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Thats a start.

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

Great. So now we have \[14+4x \le5x\] Whats the next step at isolating the x??

OpenStudy (jenniferjuice):

maybe subtract four from five?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[12+4x \ge5x -2\] first take all the terms with x to one side of the equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then you wil something similar to this\[12+2\ge5x-4x= 14gex and thats your final answer\]

OpenStudy (jenniferjuice):

...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats \[x \ge14\] is also answer taking x to left hand side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you right @ juice

OpenStudy (jenniferjuice):

okay i got it thanks !
