Question

Solve.

–6 ≥ 10 – 8x

(Points : 1)
x ≥ 2
x ≥ –2
x ≤ 2
x ≤ –2

Answer 1

@jim_thompson5910 oh and also thank you for not giving me the answer and making me figure it out because otherwise i would still be stuck do you think you could help me on this one also

Answer 2

im giving another medal

Answer 3

10 – 8x

is the same as

-8x + 10

Answer 4

so

–6 ≥ 10 – 8x

is the same as

–6 ≥ -8x + 10

Answer 5

it would be -2 and u flip the sign right @jim_thompson5910

Answer 6

what you first do is subtract 10 from both sides

–6 ≥ -8x + 10

–6 - 10 ≥ -8x + 10 - 10

-16 ≥ -8x

what's next?

Answer 7

do you divide 8 on both sides @jim_thompson5910

Answer 8

-8, yes

Answer 9

the sign will flip

Answer 10

so it would be positive 2

Answer 11

and you flip the sign

Answer 12

so we will have

\[\large 2 \le x\]

and that turns into

\[\large x \ge 2\]

Answer 13

–5t ≥ 65

t ≤ –13 so is this the correct answer for this one

Answer 14

yeah

Answer 15

ok just checking

Answer 16

so the sign never flipped
because for the 2 the sign is the same as it
was before so does it or does it not flip

Answer 17

well it flips twice

once when you divide both sides by a negative number

then it does a second time when you flip the whole expression

Answer 18

when I moved that x over I mean

Answer 19

ohhhh okay so it did

Answer 20

5 + d > 5 – d

(Points : 1)
d > 10
d > 0
d < –5
d > –10

Answer 21

im confused on this one very @jim_thompson5910

Answer 22

what do i do with the 5 where do i move it or change

Answer 23

ok this will be the last one and then I have to go

Answer 24

you subtract 5 from both sides

Answer 25

and that will turn

5 + d > 5 - d

into

d > -d

Answer 26

ok thnk u for helping

Answer 27

then you add 'd' to both sides to go from

d > -d

to

2d > 0

and finally you divide both sides by 2 to get

d > 0

Answer 28

so would it be -5 or -10

Answer 29

ohhhh so u dont have either number its just a 0

Answer 30

yes exactly

Answer 31

when you subtract 5 from both sides, they go away

Answer 32

may i ask you one more that i had for last because i really dont get this one at all

Answer 33

ok one more

Answer 34

The sum of two consecutive integers is at least 46. What is the least possible pair of integers?
(Points : 1)
21 and 23
23 and 24
22 and 23
24 and 25

Answer 35

hint:

"The sum of two consecutive integers is at least 46."

translates to

\[\large x + (x+1) \ge 46\]

solve for x

Answer 36

how do u know how to solve all of these lol do you think you could be my algebra tutor

Answer 37

I could help from time to time, yes, or you can ask for help on this website and there are a lot of helpers here too.

I know from lots of practice. Basically if x is any number, then x+1 is the next consecutive number

so that's how I got x + (x+1)

and this must be "at least 46" which means

\[\large x + (x+1) \ge 46\]

Answer 38

like do u have gmail kik or anything tht we can stay in contact on

Answer 39

you can message me through here and that works fine I think

Answer 40

and does tht mean the numbers tht add up to it or are the closest

Answer 41

what do you mean?

Answer 42

the question The sum of two consecutive integers is at least 46. What is the least possible pair of integers?
(Points : 1)
21 and 23
23 and 24
22 and 23
24 and 25

Answer 43

are u suppose to get the closest numbers or what can add up t this

Answer 44

yeah you have to solve

\[\large x + (x+1) \ge 46\]

for x. then use this to find x+1

Answer 45

so how do i do tht

Answer 46

i mean how do i find x

Answer 47

I'll get you started

\[\large x + (x+1) \ge 46\]

\[\large x + x+1 \ge 46\]

\[\large 2x+1 \ge 46\]

and I'll let you finish up since I have to get going. Good luck

Answer 48

lol ok
