Question

5(x + 2) greater than or equal to 7x + 2(x − 1)




I need help

Answer 1

so I guess you need to solve for x, is that right?

Answer 2

yes can you please help me?

Answer 3

\[5(x+2) \ge 7x+2(x-1)\]

Answer 4

so lets start with the LHS and expand

Answer 5

ok so we distribute first right

Answer 6

yep

Answer 7

over to you

Answer 8

so it will be 5x and 2x

Answer 9

5(x + 2) greater than or equal to 7x + 2(x − 1)
5x + 10

Answer 10

7x + 2x-2

Answer 11

5x +10 < 9x-2

Answer 12

NO

\[5x+10\ge9x-2\]

Answer 13

Now you'll need to get x's on the left and constants on the right

Answer 14

@smart103 What was the correct answer?

Answer 15

Next step is

\[5x-9x \ge -2-10\]

Answer 16

then we have
\[-4x \ge-12\]

Answer 17

multiply both sides by -1

\[4x \le12\]

Answer 18

finally divide both sides by 4
\[x \le3\]
