Q. Which best represents the solution set for the inequality 3x+921 -3 x+9 \geq-21 ?\newline(A) x10 x \geq 10 \newline(B) x10 x \leq 10 \newline(C) x4 x \geq-4 \newline(D) x4 x \leq-4
  1. Isolate variable x: First, we need to isolate the variable x on one side of the inequality. We can start by subtracting 99 from both sides of the inequality to get rid of the constant term on the left side.\newline3x+99219-3x + 9 - 9 \geq -21 - 9\newlineThis simplifies to:\newline3x30-3x \geq -30
  2. Subtract 99: Next, we divide both sides of the inequality by 3-3 to solve for xx. Remember that when we divide or multiply both sides of an inequality by a negative number, we must reverse the direction of the inequality sign.\newline3x/330/3-3x / -3 \leq -30 / -3\newlineThis simplifies to:\newlinex10x \leq 10
