Solve for xx and graph the solution on the number line below.

minus, 3, is less than or equal to, start fraction, x, divided by, 3, end fraction
−3≤
3
x


Answer

1 answer

To solve for x, we first multiply both sides of the inequality by 3 to get rid of the fraction:

-3 * 3 ≤ x
-9 ≤ x

So x is greater than or equal to -9.

Graphically, this would be represented as a closed circle at -9 on the number line, shading to the right to show all values greater than or equal to -9.
