To solve the inequality for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the inequality symbol. Here's how:
23 ≤ -7 + 6x
Add 7 to both sides:
30 ≤ 6x
Divide both sides by 6:
5 ≤ x
So the solution for x is: x ≥ 5.
Remember that when you divide or multiply both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you need to flip the direction of the inequality symbol. But in this case, we're dividing by a positive number, so we don't need to worry about flipping the inequality direction.
Therefore, x must be greater than or equal to 5 to satisfy the inequality.
Solve the inequality for x.
23 ≤ -7 + 6x
Simplify your answer as much as possible.
