Solve. –7 ≥ 13 – 5x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a) subtract 13 b) divide by \(-5\) and change the inequality since \(-5\) is negative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I already tried to do the problem but I got the wrong answer...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did you subtract 13 first?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, I added 13 first. Let me try and do what you said.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I did the problem and I got 4, is that correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer is not a number, the answer is an inequalty did you get \[4\geq x\] or \[4\leq x\]?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[4\leq x\]is right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, so I got it right! Thanks! I guess the only thing I did wrong was add 13 when I was supposed to subtract 13. Anyways, thank you for your help!
