Choose the solution to this inequality: 5x \geq 2 A. x\geq 10 B. x\geq 2\frac{1}{2} C. x\geq \frac{2}{5}

pooja195 (pooja195):

o.O

Zeronknight (zeronknight):

\[5x \geq 2\]

pooja195 (pooja195):

Divide both sides by 5

Zeronknight (zeronknight):

\[A. x\geq 10\]

Zeronknight (zeronknight):

How would I divide 2 by 5?

pooja195 (pooja195):

You don't it remains a fraction

@Zeronknight

Zeronknight (zeronknight):

oh?

pooja195 (pooja195):

Do you understand?

pooja195 (pooja195):

If not please tell me so I can enlighten you :P

Zeronknight (zeronknight):

Not really, why would it become a fraction. And yes professor. Enlighten me XD

pooja195 (pooja195):

xD ok So basically... Our job is to have x by itself to do this we divide both sides by 5 Like this: |dw:1450917844160:dw| When we can't divide a fraction it remains the same unless your problem asks for a decimal i doubt it does |dw:1450917917434:dw|
