does -46/11 make x ≥ -4 inequality true?

1 answer

To determine if -46/11 makes x ≥ -4 inequality true, we substitute -46/11 for x in the inequality and check if the inequality is satisfied.

\[x \geq -4\]

\[\frac{-46}{11} \geq -4\]

Now we solve this inequality:

\[\frac{-46}{11} \geq -4\]

By multiplying both sides of the inequality by 11 (remembering to reverse the inequality sign since we are multiplying by a negative number), we get:

\[-46 \leq -44\]

This inequality is false. Therefore, -46/11 does not satisfy the inequality x ≥ -4.
