5 - 2x ≤ -3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First subtract -5 on both sides

OpenStudy (benlindquist):

I got -4 on it, but would it be 4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let me check first

OpenStudy (benlindquist):

2x ≤ -3 -5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it should be x≥4

OpenStudy (benlindquist):

so the answer would be 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[-2x \le-3-5\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

divide both sides by-2 and remember when there is a negative side beside the unknown the symbol must change and the unknown must become positive

OpenStudy (benlindquist):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[Therefore,x \ge4\]
