Is x = –2 a solution to the inequality below?

3 ≤ x + 10

1 answer

To determine if \( x = -2 \) is a solution to the inequality \( 3 \leq x + 10 \), we can substitute \(-2\) for \( x \) in the inequality.

Starting with the inequality:

\[ 3 \leq x + 10 \]

Substituting \( x = -2 \):

\[ 3 \leq -2 + 10 \]

Calculating the right side:

\[ 3 \leq 8 \]

Since \( 3 \) is indeed less than or equal to \( 8 \), the inequality holds true.

Thus, \( x = -2 \) is a solution to the inequality \( 3 \leq x + 10 \).
