Question

What are the solutions of the inequality? x/5 ≥ −2 a. x ≤ -10 b. x ≥ -10 c.x ≥ 7 d.x ≥ -7

Answer 1

x/5 ≥ -2
multiply both sides by 5

(x/5)(5) ≥ (-2)(5)
5 on the left "cancels out"

x ≥ -10


The inequality sign changes only when multiplying or dividing by a negative number.


ANSWER: (B) x ≥ -10
