Answer:
X <= 4
Step-by-step explanation:
-3x - 24<= -36
Make -3x the subject, by carrying -24 to the other side
Note: Moving -24 to the other side changes to + 24
-3x <= -36 + 24
-3x <= - 12
Minus cancels minus
3x <= 12
Divide both sides by 3,to get the value of x
3x/3 <= 12/3
x <= 12/3
x <= 4
Therefore, x equals to 4
Answer:
x ≥ 4
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this inequality, we are going to follow the steps below;
first add 24 to both-side of the inequality
–3x – 24 ≤ –36
-3x - 24 + 24 ≤ -36 + 24
-24 + 24 will give us zero, hence our inequality becomes;
-3x ≤ -12
Divide both-side of the inequality by -3.
You should note that whenever you are dividing both-side of inequality by a negative sign, the inequality sign will change, if it is "≤" it becomes"≥" and if it is "≥" it becomes "≤".
-3x/-3 ≤ -12/-3
x ≥ 4
