Question

solve the inequality and graph the solution on the line provided. -5 - 8x ≥ 43 answer attempt 1 out of 2 < > ≤ ≥ or inequality notation: blank number line: number - line image with arrow and numbers from - 12 to 12

Explanation:

Step1: Add 5 to both sides

$-5 - 8x+5\geq43 + 5$
$-8x\geq48$

Step2: Divide both sides by - 8 and reverse the inequality sign

Since dividing by a negative number, the inequality sign flips. $\frac{-8x}{-8}\leq\frac{48}{-8}$
$x\leq - 6$

Answer:

Inequality Notation: $x\leq - 6$
On the number - line, there is a closed circle at - 6 and the arrow points to the left.
