Please help me!!!!

OpenStudy (opal13):

Solve. 2x + 6 ≥ –4 A. x ≤ –5 B. x ≤ –8 C. x ≥ –5 D. x ≥ –8

OpenStudy (hafeda):

@Opal13 do the same thing like u did for the last one, subtract the constant from both side

OpenStudy (opal13):

dividing both sides with 6 first right?

OpenStudy (hafeda):

yes by 6 but not divide, subtract

OpenStudy (hafeda):

because addition is the opposite of subtraction

OpenStudy (opal13):

ok so then 2x+6-6 ≥ -4-6 2x ≥ -10

OpenStudy (opal13):

Then divide 2 from both sides?

OpenStudy (hafeda):

yes very good

OpenStudy (opal13):

then x ≥ -5?

OpenStudy (hafeda):

yes that is ur answer can u check it, u wanted to know if it is right or wrong

OpenStudy (opal13):

2 x (-5) + 6 ≥ -4 -10 + 6 ≥ -4 -4 ≥ -4

OpenStudy (hafeda):

yes very good -4 = -4 u r correct that is your answer

OpenStudy (opal13):
