Question

What is the solution for this inequality? −3w + 3 ≥ 18
A w ≥ −7
B w ≤ −7
C w ≥ −5
D w ≤ −5 23

Answer 1

w≤−5

Answer 2

\[w \le -5\]

Answer 3

Isolate the variable by subtracting 3 from both sides. then divide by -3. dont forget to change the inequality sign to the opposite from dividing by a negative.

Answer 4

so wat the aswer

Answer 5

Well first solve like you would for any old expression.
−3w + 3 ≥ 18
Subtract 3 from both sides.
-3w + 3 - 3 ≥ 18 - 3
-3w ≥ 15
Now you divide by a negative 3 to isolate w.
Remember, whenever you're multiplying or dividing by a negative in an inequality, the symbol changes or the "inequality reverses"
w ≥ -5
Reverse the symbol.
w ≤ -5

You can plug in any number for w in the original equation to check if it's true.
