Sarah10:

Which of the following is not a way to represent the solution of the inequality 2(x − 1) greater than or equal to −12? x greater than or equal to −5 x less than or equal to −5 −5 less than or greater to x A number line with a closed circle on negative 5 and shading to the right

Sarah10:

i was thinking either c or b

Sarah10:

@Vocaloid

dude:

\[2(x-1)\ge -12\\ distribute\\ 2x-2\ge-12\\ add~2~on~both~sides\\ 2x\ge-12\\ x\ge-6\]

dude:

Hmmm

Sarah10:

yea i got that part lol

Sarah10:

nvm i think its x less than or equal to −5

Vocaloid:

these answer choices are contradictory x greater than or equal to −5 x less than or equal to −5 the second one must be false the choice "−5 less than or greater to x" is nonsensical

Sarah10:

it cant be one choice?

Vocaloid:

if you can only pick one choice then pick the second one i guess x less than or equal to −5

Sarah10:

oh ok thanks to u bothhh!!

Vocaloid:

oh and dude, when you added 2 to both sides you forgot to change -12 to -10

dude:

hah rip

Sarah10:
