12 - 4x ≥ 8

1 answer

To solve the inequality 12 - 4x ≥ 8, you need to isolate 'x' on one side of the inequality sign.

Start by subtracting 12 from both sides:

12 - 4x - 12 ≥ 8 - 12

Simplify:

-4x ≥ -4

Now, divide both sides by -4. However, because you are dividing by a negative number, you need to reverse the inequality sign:

x ≤ -4/-4

x ≤ 1

Therefore, the solution to 12 - 4x ≥ 8 is x ≤ 1.
