Question

1. solve the following inequality: 9 ≥ x - 2

Explanation:

Step1: Add 4 to both sides

To isolate the term with \( x \), we add 4 to both sides of the inequality \( 9 \geq x - 4 \). This gives us \( 9 + 4 \geq x - 4 + 4 \).

Step2: Simplify both sides

Simplifying the left - hand side \( 9 + 4=13 \) and the right - hand side \( x-4 + 4=x \). So we get \( 13\geq x \), or in other words \( x\leq13 \).

Answer:

The solution to the inequality \( 9\geq x - 4 \) is \( x\leq13 \)
