Q. 23q≤29q−18Which of the following best describes the solutions to the inequality shown?Choose 1 answer:(A) q≤3(B) q≥3(C) q≤6(D) q≥6
Write inequality: Write down the inequality to start solving it.(23)q≤(29)q−18
Isolate q terms: To isolate q, we need to get all the q terms on one side. Subtract (23)q from both sides of the inequality.(23)q−(23)q≤(29)q−(23)q−18This simplifies to:0≤(26)q−18
Simplify right side: Simplify the right side of the inequality by combining like terms. 0≤3q−18
Add 18 to both sides: Add 18 to both sides of the inequality to isolate the term with q.0+18≤3q−18+18This simplifies to:18≤3q
Divide by 3: Divide both sides of the inequality by 3 to solve for q.318≤33qThis simplifies to:6≤q
Rewrite inequality: Rewrite the inequality in a more conventional way. q≥6
