Solve for s. -1(s - 6) ≥ 3 ______

Distribute -1: Distribute -1 across the parentheses. -1(s - 6) ≥ 3 -1 * s + (-1) * (-6) ≥ 3 -s + 6 ≥ 3 Isolate variable term: Isolate the variable term on one side by subtracting 6 from both sides of the inequality. -s + 6 - 6 ≥ 3 - 6 -s ≥ -3 Divide by -1: Divide both sides by -1 to solve for s. Remember that dividing by a negative number reverses the inequality sign. -s / -1 ≤ -3 / -1 s ≤ 3

Q. Solve for

s

\newline

-1(s - 6) \geq 3

Distribute $-1$ : Distribute $-1$ across the parentheses. $\newline$ $-1(s - 6) \geq 3$ $\newline$ $-1 \times s + (-1) \times (-6) \geq 3$ $\newline$ $-s + 6 \geq 3$
Isolate variable term: Isolate the variable term on one side by subtracting $6$ from both sides of the inequality. $\newline$ $-s + 6 - 6 \geq 3 - 6$ $\newline$ $-s \geq -3$
Divide by $-1$ : Divide both sides by $-1$ to solve for s. Remember that dividing by a negative number reverses the inequality sign. $\newline$ $-s / -1 \leq -3 / -1$ $\newline$ $s \leq 3$
