Solve for x in the following inequality: negative 6 minus 5x greater-than-or-equal-to 9. (1 point)
x less-than-or-equal-to negative 3
x greater-than-or-equal-to negative 3
x less-than-or-equal-to 0.6
x greater-than-or-equal-to 0.6
x less-than-or-equal-to negative 3
To solve the inequality -6 - 5x >= 9, we need to isolate the variable x.
Step 1: Add 6 to both sides:
-5x >= 15
Step 2: Divide both sides by -5. Since we are dividing by a negative number, the direction of the inequality sign will flip:
x <= -3
So, the correct solution is x less-than-or-equal-to -3.
