Question

Fill in the blank:

2t+8 is greater than or equal to -4(t+1)

t is greater than or equal to ___

Answer 1

all you need to do is solve for T. would you like me to show you how?

Answer 2

Yes please

Answer 3

t is greater than or equal to 2 becuase you first use distributive property on the right side which gives you -4t + -4 then you would subtract 4 from both sides and get 2t+12 is greater than or equal to -4t and then -2t from both sides and then just divide each side by -6 and switch the sign

Answer 4

\(2t + 8 \ge -4(t + 1)\)

Distribute -4 into the parenthesis:

\(2t + 8 \ge -4t - 4\)

Subtract 8 to both sides:

\(2t \ge -4t - 12\)

Add 4t to both sides:

\(6t \ge -12\)

Now divide 6 to both sides, can you do that?

Answer 5

Answer 6

You get t is grater than or equal to -2 ? @iGreen

Answer 7

*greater

Answer 8

2T+8(=/greater)-4(T+1)
distribute first.
2T+8=-4T-4
then get the T alone by subtracting -4T from each side.
6T+8=-4
then subtract 8 from both sides.
6T=-12
last divide by 6 to find out what T is equal to or greater than.
T=-2

Answer 9

I was confused on whether it was 2 or -2. Thank you! @mason437
