Question

solve for q.
12q - 18 ≤ 15q + 15
write your answer with q first, followed by an inequality symbol.

Explanation:

Step1: Move q - terms to one side

$12q-15q\leq15 + 18$

Step2: Combine like - terms

$-3q\leq33$

Step3: Solve for q (divide both sides by - 3 and reverse the inequality sign)

$q\geq\frac{33}{-3}$
$q\geq - 11$

Answer:

$q\geq - 11$
