Question

Solve the inequality.
-$8 - 2 ( 3 - x ) \leq 12$
A) $x \leq 5$
B) $x < 5$
C) $x \geq 5$
D) $x \leq 6$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

First, distribute the -2 across the (3 - x): $8 - 2*3 + 2x \leq 12$. Simplify to get $8 - 6 + 2x \leq 12$, which simplifies further to $2 + 2x \leq 12$. Subtract 2 from both sides to get $2x \leq 10$, and divide by 2 to find $x \leq 5$.
