Question

Twelve less than 5 times a number is greater than or equal to 6 more than twice the number. Each inequality and number line represents the solution for the given situation

Answer 1

Answer:  x ≥ 6

Step-by-step explanation:

12 less than 5 times a number ≥ 6 more than twice the number

                    5x - 12                    ≥                        2x + 6

Note: the word "than" switches the order of the terms.

5x - 12 ≥ 2x + 6

-2x  +12  -2x +12

3x         ≥       18

÷3                ÷3

   x         ≥       6

Graph: 6 -----------→   the dot is closed (filled in) since it is "equal to"
