Maluwa solves the inequality 3x+9≥6

. Which statement explains the steps she uses to find the solution set of the inequality?

1 answer

The steps Maluwa uses to find the solution set of the inequality are as follows:

1. She subtracts 9 from both sides of the inequality to isolate the variable term:
3x + 9 - 9 ≥ 6 - 9
3x ≥ -3

2. Next, she divides both sides of the inequality by 3 to solve for x:
(3x)/3 ≥ (-3)/3
x ≥ -1

3. The solution set of the inequality is all real numbers greater than or equal to -1, represented by the interval notation [-1, ∞).
