Question

Solve the inequality for x

5 3/2 x 2 1/3

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

5 -
`(3)/(2)` x ≥
`(1)/(3)`

multiply through by 6 ( the LCM of 2 and 3 ) to clear the fractions

30 - 9x ≥ 2 ( subtract 30 from both sides )

- 9x ≥ - 28

divide both sides by - 9 , reversing the symbol as a result of dividing by a negative quantity.

x ≤
`(28)/(9)`
