Solve for xx and graph the solution on the number line below.
minus, 2, is greater than or equal to, start fraction, x, divided by, minus, 4, end fraction
−2≥
−4
x
To solve for x, we need to multiply both sides of the inequality by -4 to get rid of the fraction and then isolate x.
-2*-4 ≥ x
8 ≥ x
Therefore, x is less than or equal to 8.
The solution on the number line would be a closed circle at 8 going towards negative infinity.
