solve the inequality. explain all steps 3a−4≤5

3a−4≤5

First add 4 to each side
3a ≤ 9

Now we must divide each side by 3
a ≤ 3

And a ≤ 3 is our answer.

Your welcome.

Can you explain each step? I'm having a hard time just trying to figure out what you did in between each step...

no nvm its a=3

i think thats right

The properties are the Addition property of equality and the Division property of equality. Your welcome! <:3

yes, a=3 but I don't know the property :b.

I think ? is right.

wait why do we have two add 4... I'm good at most math but this stuff always gets me

3*a-4-(5)≤0

Pull out like factors :

3a - 9 = 3 • (a - 3)
Divide both sides by 3
Add 3 to both sides

a ≤ 3

im still confused i think a=3

3b - 16 + b = 1 is the same as which of the following?

A. 4b = 1 - 16
B. 4b = 1 / 16
C. 4b = 1 + 16
D. 4b = 1 x 16
