To solve the inequality, we first need to simplify it by combining like terms.
−5q + 7 ≥ −9q − 1
Add 9q to both sides to get the variable terms on one side:
4q + 7 ≥ -1
Subtract 7 from both sides to isolate the variable term:
4q ≥ -8
Divide by 4 to solve for q:
q ≥ -2
Therefore, the solution to the inequality is q ≥ -2.
−5q+7≥
−9q−1
