OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

\[4(x-5)-5x \ge -2\] For: \[4(x-5)\]Can you distribute that? Or know how to?

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

Correct \[4x-20-5x \ge-2\] Now we have a 4x and a -5x. Maybe we can combine those like-terms

OpenStudy (atrineas):

-20-1x?

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

Right, and -1x is just the same as -x, making it: \[-20-x \ge -2\] Even though that inequality isn't an equal sign, you treat it the same way as an equal sign. So we would want to get x's on one side of the inequality and numbers/integers on the other side of the inequality

OpenStudy (atrineas):

ok

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

How would you get the -20 to the other side?

OpenStudy (atrineas):
