Question

solve $-12 \geq x - 20$. then, graph the solution.

what is the solution? select the correct choice below, and fill in the answer box to complete your choice.
\\(\bigcirc\\) a. \\(\square \geq x\\)
\\(\bigcirc\\) b. \\(\square \leq x\\)
\\(\bigcirc\\) c. \\(\boxed{ -\dfrac{5}{3} } > x\\)
\\(\bigcirc\\) d. \\(\square < x\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate x by adding 20

$-12 + 20 \geq x - 20 + 20$

Step2: Simplify both sides

$8 \geq x$

Answer:

A. $8 \geq x$

For the graph: Draw a number line, place a closed circle at 8 (since the inequality includes equality), and shade all values to the left of 8 to represent all numbers less than or equal to 8.
