To solve the inequality \(-2x \leq -10\), you can start by dividing both sides by \(-2\). However, remember that when you divide or multiply both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you must reverse the inequality sign.
Here's how to do it step by step:
- Divide both sides by \(-2\):
\[ \frac{-2x}{-2} \geq \frac{-10}{-2} \]
- This simplifies to:
\[ x \geq 5 \]
So the solution to the inequality \(-2x \leq -10\) is:
\[ x \geq 5 \]
In interval notation, this is represented as \([5, \infty)\).
