$$\large \large –4 ≤ 11 – 3x$$ We want to isolate -3x, therefore we have to get rid of 11.
How can we get rid of 11?

anonymous · Answer

Multiply both sides?

anonymous · Answer

1st subtract -11 on oth sides of inequality,..

goldphenoix · Answer

Mmm. Not quite. We want to subtract 11 to both side. Since 11 is a positive, subtracting it by 11 will make it 0 or 'get rid of it'

So -4 - 11 = ?

D

goldphenoix · Answer

It can't be D.

anonymous · Answer

oh..yes...11 not -11

anonymous · Answer

and then divide it by -3...

dividing by -3 will also changes the sign of inequalit..

cp9454 · Answer

sorry, C  cause when you multiply both side by -1 sign of inequality changes
