Question

In reference to: 3x + 2 ≥ −4Is -3 a solution?

Answer 1

Not a solution

Step-by-step explanation

To determine if -3 is a solution to the inequality, we have to replace x with -3 and see if the inequality is true,

`\begin{gathered} 3\cdot(-3)+2\geqslant-4 \\ \\ -9+2\geqslant-4 \\ \\ -7\ge-4 \end{gathered}`

Since -7 is not greater than or equal to -4, we can conclude that -3 is not a solution to the inequality.
