Question

solve for x and graph the solution on the number line below. -10x ≥ 50 answer attempt 1 out of 2 < > ≤ ≥ or inequality notation: number line: submit answer

Explanation:

Step1: Divide both sides by -10

When dividing an inequality by a negative number, the inequality sign flips. So, $\frac{- 10x}{-10}\leq\frac{50}{-10}$.

Step2: Simplify

Simplifying gives $x\leq - 5$.

Answer:

Inequality Notation: $x\leq - 5$. On the number - line, place a closed circle at $-5$ (because the inequality includes equality, i.e., $x$ can be equal to $-5$) and shade to the left (since $x$ is less than or equal to $-5$).
