Question

solve for x and graph the solution on the number line below. -5x ≤ -20 answer attempt 1 out of 2 inequality notation: number line: -12 -10 -8 -6 -4 -2 0 2 4 6 8 10 12

Explanation:

Step1: Divide both sides by -5.

When dividing an inequality by a negative number, the direction of the inequality sign changes. So, $\frac{-5x}{-5}\geq\frac{-20}{-5}$.

Step2: Simplify both sides.

$x\geq4$

Answer:

Inequality Notation: $x\geq4$
Number Line: Plot a closed - circle at 4 (because the inequality includes equality, $\geq$) and draw a line to the right of 4.
