Question

The sum of a number times 6 and 24 is at least -16

Answer 1

6X + 24 > -16

subtract 24 from both sides

6X >-40

divide both sides by 6

X > -20/3

X is at least -20/3 or - 6 2/3

is the same as

X is greater than or equal to -20/3 or

X is greater than or equal to minus 6 2/3

[-20/3, infinity) in interval notation
