Question

What is the solution to the inequality –5(x + 1) ≤ 15?
plz help

Answer 1

Explanation:

5(x + 1) ≤ 15

In order to solve this linear inequality, we need to group all the variable terms on one side, and all the constant terms on the other side of the inequality.

In our example,

- term 5, will be moved to the right side.

Notice that a term changes sign when it 'moves' from one side of the inequality to the other.

Answer 2

x≥-4

Explanation:

-5(x + 1) ≤ 15

-5x-5≤ 15

-5x≤20 5 was added on both sides

x
`\geq`-4 divided by -5 on both sides and since we divided by a negative

number, the inequality sign was flipped
