Question 1 Report

Solve the inequality 3x - 8 ≥ 5x
Answer Details
To solve the inequality 3x - 8 ≥ 5x, we need to isolate the variable x on one side of the inequality sign. First, we can simplify the inequality by subtracting 3x from both sides: 3x - 8 - 3x ≥ 5x - 3x Simplifying further, we get: -8 ≥ 2x To isolate x, we divide both sides by 2: -4 ≥ x This is the same as x ≤ -4. Therefore, the correct option is: - x ≤ -4
