Q. Solve for z. Reduce any fractions to lowest terms. Don't round your answer, and don't use mixed fractions.−4z+31≥17z+23
Rearranging the inequality: First, we want to get all the z terms on one side of the inequality and the constant terms on the other side. We can do this by adding 4z to both sides and subtracting 23 from both sides.−4z+31+4z≥17z+23+4z31−23≥17z+4z
Simplifying the inequality: Now, we simplify both sides of the inequality by combining like terms.31−23=817z+4z=21zSo, we have:8≥21z
Isolating z: Next, we want to isolate z by dividing both sides of the inequality by 21. Since we are dividing by a positive number, the direction of the inequality will not change.218≥2121z
Solution for z: After dividing, we get the solution for z.218≥zOr, we can write it as:z≤218
