i need help with this problem, i don't know what they r taking about.... The solution set for the inequality x + 4 (x - 3) includes -11 as an element. True False

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x + 4 < (x - 3) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x + 4 >= (x - 3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so we plug in x=-11 and check if the equation is satisfied: -11 + 4 >= -11 -3

OpenStudy (anonymous):
