Equality Properties

• Multiplication Property of Equality
• Division Property of Equality
• Addition Property of Equality
• Subtraction Property of Equality

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

-3 + x ≤ -11

Step 2: Solve for x

1. [Addition Property of Equality] Add 3 on both sides:                                    x ≤ -8

Here we see that any value x smaller than or equal to -8 would work as a solution to the inequality.
