Did you mean 5(x+6) less or EQUAL to 3x-4?

anonymous · Answer

Yes, sorry.

anonymous · Answer

Well first step is to distribute the 5 over (x+6)

anonymous · Answer

so, 5x+30

anonymous · Answer

yep ... now move all of the x terms to one side.

anonymous · Answer

2x+30  less or EQUAL to -4?

anonymous · Answer

yep now get the x term by itself...

anonymous · Answer

2x  less or EQUAL to -34?

anonymous · Answer

yep now get it to be just x instead of 2x.

anonymous · Answer

Then do the math? and I get c? x less than or greater to -17

anonymous · Answer

Less than or equal ... yes.

anonymous · Answer

nice job!

anonymous · Answer

Thanks alot.

anonymous · Answer

5(x + 6) <= 3x - 4
5x + 30 <= 3x - 4
5x - 3x <= -30-4
2x <= -34
x <= - 17
you got it :)
