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
