Answer x is less than or equal to -1
Step-by-step explanation:
-5x-9 -4
-5x-9+9 -4+9
-5x 5
-5x/-5x 5/-5
x less than or equal to -1
Answer:
x [tex]\leq[/tex] -1
Step-by-step explanation:
(-5x - 9) [tex]\geq[/tex] -4
add 9 to both sides of the equation
-5x-9 [tex]\geq[/tex] -4
+9 +9
--------------------
the -9 and +9 cancel out
-5x [tex]\geq[/tex] 5
then, divide both sides by -5 to get x
-5x [tex]\geq[/tex] 5
------ -------
-5 -5
x [tex]\leq[/tex] -1
by the way, the sign changed from [tex]\geq[/tex] to [tex]\leq[/tex] because we divided by a negative number to get x.
