Question

How do you solve `4x +8 <= 6x -20`?

Answer 1

`x >=14`

Explanation:

Pretend that your `<=` here is just a plain old `=`. Balance it like you always would :)

`4x+8<=6x-20` Subtract `6x` from both sides

`-2x+8<=-20` Subtract `8` from both sides

`-2x<=-28` Divide both sides by `-2` and do not forget to flip the sign because you're dividing by a negative number!

`x >= 14`
