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

Question

minus, 2, is less than or equal to, 2, x
−2≤
2x

Answer 1

To solve for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the inequality.

−2 ≤ 2x

Divide by 2 on both sides:

−1 ≤ x

So x is greater than or equal to -1.

Graphing this on a number line:

-1———————————————————————————————>

All numbers greater than or equal to -1 satisfy the inequality.
