5x + 10 ≥ 7x + 2x - 2.................after distributing the multiplication
5x + 10 ≥ 9x - 2........................subtract 9x and subtract 10
- 4x ≥ - 12.................................divid... by - 4 and switch direction of the inequality
x ≤ 3
The graph is a number line with a closed circle at 3 and shaded to th left will
represent the solution.
Note whenever inequalities are multiplied or divided by negatives, the inequality
reverses direction.
