\[ solve -12 + x \le -36 for \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for x*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If the inequality were an equal sign, would you know how to solve it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@gypsy1274 yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You treat an inequality the same way. The only difference is if you multiply or divide by a negative number, you reverse the inequality. Not relevant for this particular problem.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@gypsy1274 -24

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, that is the answer I got.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@gypsy1274 is it \[x \le -24 \] or \[x \ge -24\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(-12+x \leq-36\) \(x\leq -24\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ty @gypsy1274

The only time you reverse the inequality is if you multiply or divide by a negative number.
