-5x-9 is greater than or equal to -4

Sagot :

Answer x is less than or equal to -1

Step-by-step explanation:

-5x-9    -4

-5x-9+9    -4+9

-5x    5

-5x/-5x  5/-5

x less than or equal to -1

Answer:

x  [tex]\leq[/tex]  -1

Step-by-step explanation:

(-5x - 9) [tex]\geq[/tex]   -4

add 9 to both sides of the equation

-5x-9  [tex]\geq[/tex] -4

    +9      +9

--------------------

the -9 and +9 cancel out

-5x [tex]\geq[/tex] 5

then, divide both sides by -5 to get x

-5x  [tex]\geq[/tex]  5

------   -------

-5         -5

x  [tex]\leq[/tex]  -1

by the way, the sign changed from  [tex]\geq[/tex] to [tex]\leq[/tex] because we divided by a negative number to get x.
