Question

solve for x and graph the solution on the number line below. -70 ≥ -10x answer attempt 1 out of 2 < > ≤ ≥ or inequality notation: number line: -12 -10 -8 -6 -4 -2 0 2 4 6 8 10 12

Explanation:

Step1: Divide both sides by -10

When dividing an inequality by a negative number, the direction of the inequality sign changes. So, $\frac{-70}{-10}\leq\frac{- 10x}{-10}$.

Step2: Simplify the expressions

We get $7\leq x$, which can also be written as $x\geq7$.

Answer:

Inequality Notation: $x\geq7$
To graph on the number - line: Place a closed circle at 7 (because the inequality includes equality, i.e., $\geq$) and shade to the right of 7.
