Full solution

Q. Solve for

a

.

-1a + 1 \geq -8

Isolate variable term: Isolate the variable term by subtracting $1$ from both sides of the inequality. $\newline$ $-1a + 1 - 1 \geq -8 - 1$ $\newline$ $-1a \geq -9$
Divide by $-1$ : Divide both sides by $-1$ to solve for $a$ . Remember that dividing by a negative number reverses the inequality sign. $\newline$ $-1a / -1 \leq -9 / -1$ $\newline$ $a \leq 9$
