Question

solve the linear inequality for k. write your answer in inequality notation. -2k + 1 ≤ -3

Explanation:

Step1: Subtract 1 from both sides

$-2k + 1 - 1 \leq -3 - 1$
$-2k \leq -4$

Step2: Divide by -2, reverse inequality

$\frac{-2k}{-2} \geq \frac{-4}{-2}$
$k \geq 2$

Answer:

$k \geq 2$
