can you explain how you got the answer?
Answered by naw
so is it facing left or right >,<?
Answered by naw
wouldn't it be more than(>) because x is one and the-3.5 is a negative?

x ≥ -3.5

To solve the inequality -1.7x ≥ 5.95, we want to isolate the variable x on one side of the inequality sign.

First, we divide both sides of the inequality by -1.7. However, since we are dividing by a negative number, the direction of the inequality sign must be reversed.

So, we have x ≤ 5.95 / -1.7.

Simplifying the right side, we have x ≤ -3.5.

Therefore, the solution to the inequality is x ≥ -3.5.

Apologies for the confusion in my previous response. The correct solution to the inequality is x ≤ -3.5.

This means that x is less than or equal to -3.5.

In terms of the inequality sign, it is facing towards the left, indicating that x can take any value that is less than or equal to -3.5.
