Question

Solve.



–7 ≥ 13 – 5x









A.

x ≥ –4








B.

x ≤ –4








C.

x ≥ 4








D.

x ≤ 4

Answer 1

x ≤ –4 ? @Dscdago

Answer 2

You need isolate the x. Subtract the 13, so that the x its by itself

Answer 3

so it's D. ?

Answer 4

No, when you subtract 13, the equation should be -20>=-5x. From there you divide by -5. Since you are dividing by a negative, the sign changes direction.

Answer 5

oh, okay. A .

Answer 6

When you divide -20 by -5, the negative cancels. Leaving 4. So, -20/-5=4

Answer 7

Subtract 13 from both sides so that it will be \[-20\ge -5x\] Divide both sides by -5 and when you divide by a negative switch the signs so it'll be \[4\le x\]

Answer 8

x ≥ 4 ?

Answer 9

After dividing, the answer is 4<=x. @WordGEEK has a good explanation.

Answer 10

Yes, that's correct.
