Question

Solve the following inequality. Then place the correct answer in the box provided. Answer in terms of a mixed number. 12z - 3 ≥ 2z - 15

Answer 1

Answer: -1 1/5

Explanation:

`12z-3\ge \:2z-15`

`12z-3+3\ge \:2z-15+3`

`12z\ge \:2z-12`

`12z-2z\ge \:2z-12-2z`

`10z\ge \:-12`

`(10z)/(10)\ge (-12)/(10)`

`z\ge \:-(6)/(5)`

-6/5 as a mixed number is -1 1/5
