I need help finding the solution set for the following inequality:6-5/4*x is greater than or equal to 9

Question

yttrium · Answer

Hey. If I got what you mean, maybe this is the answer.

6-(5/4x)>= 9, Compute 1st for the LCD of the left side:
(24x-5)/4x >= 9 , Then cross multiply:
24x-5 >= 36x, Combine similar terms
12x>=-5, Therefore
x>= -5/12

Is that the solution set? That is the answer I got also but I thought a solution set was in the form of, for example: 5<=x<=1.

anonymous · Answer

I actually got x<=-12/5

Shouldn't the sign be flipped?

yttrium · Answer

it's already flipped, yeah that's already a solution set. It does not necesarily mean that a solution set must be something like x<= x <= 1, it's 2 directional well the answer here is just one directional solution set.

anonymous · Answer

But you got x>= and I got x<=

Can you show me your solution, I already flipped the inequality sign since I've got the negative x well if you want, can you show me you solution so as to attest it. :D

Uhh. I'm sorry, I lost my mind during axioms. You're correct. :D
