Question

Part 1: Solve the inequality −5x + 8 less than or equal to 5x − 2 and show all of your work. You can use <= to represent the less than or equal to symbol.
Part 2: Use complete sentences to describe the graph of the solution from Part 1. Be sure to include the type of circle and which direction the shading will be.

Answer 2

it's different from mine.. @Tazmaniadevil maybe i can work something out hopefully..

Answer 5

-5x + 8 <= 5x - 2 -- subtract 5x from both sides
-5x - 5x + 8 <= 5x - 5x - 2 -- combine like terms
-10x + 8 <= -2 -- subtract 8 from both sides
-10x + 8 - 8 <= -2 - 8 -- combine like terms
-10x <= -10 -- divide both sides by -10, and change the inequality sign
x >= 1

if there is an equal sign, it is a closed circle
no equal sign, open circle
(<) less then means shading to the left
(>) greater then means shading to the right

solution : closed circle on 1, shading to the right

any questions ?
