Q. −10x−3≥8x+4Which of the following best describes the solutions to the inequality shown?Choose 1 answer:A) x≤−187(B) x≤−27(C) x≤−181(D) x≥−187
Combine Like Terms: Combine like terms by moving the variable terms to one side and the constant terms to the other side.Add 10x to both sides to move the x terms to the right side:−10x−3+10x≥8x+4+10xSimplify:−3≥18x+4
Addition of Terms: Now, subtract 4 from both sides to isolate the variable term:−3−4≥18x+4−4Simplify:−7≥18x
Isolate Variable Term: Divide both sides by 18 to solve for x. Since we are dividing by a positive number, the direction of the inequality does not change.−187≥xOr, written in the more conventional way:x≤−187
Divide and Solve: Match the solution to the given answer choices.The solution x≤−187 corresponds to answer choice (A).
