2x-3 less/equal to 5x+9

Question

I need help for hw .-. I'm in 9th grade.............................................................................

Answer 1

2x - 3 ≤ 5x + 9

 

2x - 5x ≤ 9 + 3

 

-3x ≤ 12

 

divide both sides by -3:

 

x ≥ -4

 

(when you divide or multiply by a negative number the direction of greater/less than changes direction)
