Question

What value of x is in the solution set of 4x – 12 ≤ 16 + 8x?

Answer 1

-7 ≤ x

Explanation:

4x – 12 ≤ 16 + 8x

Subtract 4x from each side

4x-4x – 12 ≤ 16 + 8x-4x

– 12 ≤ 16 + 4x

Subtract 16 from each side

-16 – 12 ≤ 16 -16+ 4x

-28 ≤ 4x

-28 ≤ 4x

Divide each side by 4

-28/4 ≤ 4x/4

-7 ≤ x
