Question

What is the solution to –4(8 – 3x) ≥ 6x – 8?

Answer 1

x ≥ 4

Explanation:

4(8 - 3x) ≥ 6x - 8 distribute parenthesis on left side

32 + 12x ≥ 6x - 8 (subtract 6x from both sides)

32 + 6x ≥ - 8 (add 32 to both sides)

6x ≥ 24 (divide both sides by 6)

= x ≥ 4

Answer 2

x ≥ 4

Explanation:

Given

- 4(8 - 3x) ≥ 6x - 8 ← distribute parenthesis on left side

- 32 + 12x ≥ 6x - 8 ( subtract 6x from both sides )

- 32 + 6x ≥ - 8 ( add 32 to both sides )

6x ≥ 24 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x ≥ 4
