@ScarlettFarra2000 @Odysseus_12345 @mathstudent55

OpenStudy (scarlettfarra2000):

Any idea how to do this?

OpenStudy (atrineas):

Not at all I feel so dumb

OpenStudy (scarlettfarra2000):

Okay and you're not dumb

OpenStudy (odysseus_12345):

the answer for that question was -18 because of how the -18 needed to go into both terms to get the answer to the inequality

OpenStudy (odysseus_12345):

\[3(x-6)-4x \ge-3\]

OpenStudy (atrineas):

It was wrong and I'm on the final check again

OpenStudy (atrineas):

@TheSmartOne help please if you have the time

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Distribute the 3 first Hint: a(b - c) = ab - ac

OpenStudy (atrineas):

3x-18?

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

correct, now we have \(3x - 18 - 4x \ge -3\) What is 3x - 4x = ?

OpenStudy (atrineas):

-x?

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

corect, now we have \(-18 - x \ge - 3\) Do you like to deal with negative numbers? :P

OpenStudy (atrineas):

What do I do now?

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Add x to both sides Add 3 to both sides

OpenStudy (atrineas):

-18+3>x?

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

It's actually \(\ge\) not > but continue to simplify the left hand side -18 + 3 = ?

OpenStudy (atrineas):

I don't know how to do that symbol and -15

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

`\(\ge\)` and correct

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Now you have -15 \(\ge\) x That's the same thing as x \(\le\) -15 `\(\le\)`

OpenStudy (atrineas):

ok and that would be the answer? or is there more

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

That's all :)

OpenStudy (atrineas):

Thank you so much ^~^

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):
