Question

PLEASE HELP I WILL MEDAL AND FAN!

Answer 1

Marcie solved the following inequality, and her work is shown below:

−2(x − 5) − 12 ≤ 4 + 6(x + 3)
−2x + 10 − 12 ≤ 4 + 6x + 18
−2x − 2 ≤ 6x + 22
−8x ≤ 24
x ≤ −3

What mistake did Marcie make in solving the inequality?

She subtracted 6x from both sides when she should have added 2x.
She added 2 to both sides when she should have subtracted 22.
When dividing by −8, she did not change the ≤ to ≥.
She did not make a mistake.

Answer 2

I think she supposed to change the sign because i learnt that the sign should be changed when the x variable is negatice

Answer 3

*negative

Answer 4

ok.. mind if I get another opinion?

Answer 5

@Hero do you agree with that? I think that iis the answer, but I'm just making sure.

Answer 6

You can solve it for yourself to figure it out.

Answer 7

yes but I am not sure what the correct answer would be, I am horrible at this stuff.

Answer 8

Well, basically, any time you DO decide to divide an inequality by a negative number, you have to "flip the sign".

Answer 9

so I was right?

Answer 10

You never mentioned to me what you think the answer is.

Answer 11

c

Answer 12

@Hero

Answer 13
