Question

Solve:

will post the problem below

Answer 1

\[3-x \le 5\] OR \[-2x-3>9\]

Answer 2

@iGreen

Answer 3

so you want values for x right?

Answer 4

no, i want like, where it would be on a number line

Answer 5

\(3 - x \le 5\)

Subtract 3 to both side:

\(-x \le 2\)

Now multiply -1 to both sides.

What's 2 * -1? @pigglet

Answer 6

Sorry I meant we have to divide -1 to both sides..

So what's 2 / -1? @pigglet

Answer 7

-2
@iGreen

Answer 8

@iGreen help?

Answer 9

Yep, that's right so we have:

\(x \ge -2\)

Remember to switch the sign when dividing by a negative number.

Answer 10

Now lets solve the other one.

Answer 11

okay

Answer 12

\(-2x-3>9\)

Add 3 to both sides:

\(-2x>12\)

Divide -2 to both sides, what's 12 / -2? @pigglet

Answer 13

-6?

Answer 14

Yep, so we have:

\(x < -6\) and \(x \ge -2\)

Answer 15

@pigglet

Answer 16
