Question

Which value is a solution to the inequality 5x – 1 ≤ –11?

Answer 1

-2

Explanation:

`5x-1\leq -11\\5x\leq-10\\x\leq -2`

Answer 2

x≤-2

Explanation:

To solve the inequality, we have to add 1 on each side:

5x-1≤11

+1 +1

And then we get:

5x≤-10.

To find x, we have to divide each side by 5:

5x/5≤-10/5

After we do that, we get:

x≤-2.
