solve for x in the inequality -1.7x > 5.95 but the > has a line underneath it

1 answer

The inequality -1.7x > 5.95 with a line underneath it can be written as -1.7x ≥ 5.95.

To solve for x, we need to isolate x. First, we divide both sides of the inequality by -1.7 (remember to reverse the inequality sign since we are dividing by a negative number):

x ≤ 5.95 / -1.7

Performing the division, we get:

x ≤ -3.5

So the solution to the inequality -1.7x ≥ 5.95 with a line underneath it is x ≤ -3.5.
