Question

Solve for x. −6≤14−5x

Answer 1

Solving an inequality and solving an equation have almost all the same steps. Just be careful if you multiply or divide by a negative number, then you have to reverse the inequality symbol. Often you can do the problem without having to worry about that. See image.

`x\leq 4`

Explanation:

`-6\leq14-5x`

`-20\leq-5x`
