−4≤4x+8
(With explanation, I'm confused because I keep getting x≤−3 when the solution is x≥-3.)


Sagot :

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the inequality:

4x + 8 ≥ -4

4x ≥ -12

x ≥ -3

If this is what you did then I'm not sure how you ended up getting x ≤ -3. You're not dividing by a negative number so the sign never switches.

Hope this helps

Step-by-step explanation:

−4≤4x+8

Subtraction property of inequality with the value 8.

-12≤4x

Division property of inequality with the value of 4.
The reason the sign stays as less than or greater to is because the sign only switches when the DIVISOR is negative, not the dividend.
