what are he 4 steps in order to solve -3x+5 (alligator sigh with mouth open facing rRIGHT NOT LEFT with line underneath) 23

1 answer

To solve -3x + 5 ≥ 23, follow these steps:

1. Start by subtracting 5 from both sides of the inequality:
-3x + 5 - 5 ≥ 23 - 5
-3x ≥ 18

2. Divide both sides of the inequality by -3. Since you're dividing by a negative number, the inequality sign must be flipped:
(-3x)/-3 ≤ 18/(-3)
x ≤ -6

3. For the inequality x ≤ -6, this represents all values of x that are less than or equal to -6.

4. Therefore, the solution to -3x + 5 ≥ 23 is x ≤ -6.
