Could someone please help me with this problem? I need to solve -5/2x greater than or equal to -7/4.
Here is the answer that I got but I 'm sure that it is not correct.
x greater than or equal to 35/8.
Thanks.
5+5= 10+10= 11+11=
To solve the inequality -5/2x ≥ -7/4, we'll first need to isolate the variable x. Here's how we can do that:
1. Start by multiplying both sides of the inequality by -2/5. Since we are multiplying by a negative value, we must reverse the inequality sign:
x ≤ (-7/4) * (-2/5)
2. Simplify the right-hand side:
x ≤ 14/20
3. The fraction 14/20 can be simplified further by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2:
x ≤ 7/10
Therefore, the solution to the inequality is x ≤ 7/10. It seems that there might have been a mistake in your calculation.
