Question

Which values from the set -6, -4, -3, -1, 0, 2 satisfy this inequality?

−12x + 3≥ 5
-6, -4 , -3 , and - 1 only

-6 and -4 only

- 1 , 0, and 2 only

-4, -3, -1, 0, and 2 only

I REALLY NEED HELP THIS IS A TEST

Answer 1

-6, -4 , -3 , and - 1 only.

Explanation:

−12x + 3 ≥ 5

-12x ≥ 5 - 3

-12x ≥ 2

Divide both sides by -12:

x ≤ -1/6 (Note the inequality sign flips because we are dividing by a negative value).

So considering the given set, all the values except 0 and 2 fit this inequality.
