Question

Solve –9.4 Greater-than-or-equal-to 1.7x + 4.2.

x Less-than-or-equal-to –8
x Less-than-or-equal-to 8
x Greater-than-or-equal-to –8
x Greater-than-or-equal-to 8

Answer 1

Solve: -9.4 ≥ 1.7x + 4.2

Subtract 4.2: -9.4 - 4.2 ≥ 1.7x → -13.6 ≥ 1.7x

Divide by 1.7 (positive, so direction stays): x ≤ -13.6/1.7 = -8

Answer: x ≤ -8.
