𝒙/𝟓 – 1 ≥ – 2

Can you please show me how you did that? I'm not sure I understand.

Oh, I understand now! Thank you so much for breaking it down for me!

𝒙/𝟓 – 1 ≥ – 2

1. add 1 to both sides
x/5 ≥ -1
2. multiply both sides by 5
x ≥ -5

You're welcome.

To solve the inequality 𝒙/𝟓 – 1 ≥ – 2, we can start by isolating the variable 𝒙 on one side of the equation.

Step 1: Add 1 to both sides of the inequality to get rid of the negative 1 on the left side:
𝒙/𝟓 – 1 + 1 ≥ – 2 + 1
𝒙/𝟓 ≥ – 1

Step 2: Multiply both sides of the inequality by 5 (since 1/5 is the reciprocal of 5/1):
𝟓 * (𝒙/𝟓) ≥ (– 1) * 5
𝒙 ≥ –5

Therefore, the solution to the inequality 𝒙/𝟓 – 1 ≥ – 2 is 𝒙 ≥ –5.

Two steps:

1. add 1 to both sides
2. multiply both sides by 5
