Select the correct solution set. x + 17 ≤ -3 A. x ≤ 14 B. x ≤ -20 C.x

Question

Select the correct solution set.

x + 17 ≤ -3


A. x ≤ 14
B.x
C.x

Answer 1

it’s B!
you have to isolate x. to do so you have to get rid of the 17 by doing the inverse operation (subtraction) so the equation becomes
x< -17 -3
from here you just combine the like terms and that’s how you get B
