Question

Solve the inequality.
-$- 15 x - 9 \leq - 3 ( 4 x - 2 )$
A) $x \geq - 5$
B) $x \leq - 5$
C) $x < - 5$
D) $x > - 5$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Distribute the -3 on the right side: $-15x - 9 \leq -12x + 6$. Add $12x$ to both sides: $-3x - 9 \leq 6$. Add 9 to both sides: $-3x \leq 15$. Divide by -3 and reverse the inequality: $x \geq -5$.

Solve the Inequality −15x−9≤−3(4x−2)- 15 x - 9 \leq - 3 ( 4 x - 2 )−15x−9≤−3(4x−2)

Solve the Inequality $- 15 x - 9 \leq - 3 ( 4 x - 2 )$
