Solve for t. -2t - 1 ≤ -9 ______

Isolate variable term: Isolate the variable term in -2t - 1 ≤ -9. Add 1 to both sides of the inequality to move the constant term to the right side. -2t - 1 + 1 ≤ -9 + 1 -2t ≤ -8Add 1 to both sides: Now, divide both sides of the inequality by -2 to solve for t. Remember that when you divide or multiply both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you must reverse the inequality sign. -2t / -2 ≥ -8 / -2 t ≥ 4

Q. Solve for

t

\newline

-2t - 1 \leq -9

Isolate variable term: Isolate the variable term in $-2t - 1 \leq -9$ . Add $1$ to both sides of the inequality to move the constant term to the right side. $-2t - 1 + 1 \leq -9 + 1$ $-2t \leq -8$
Add $1$ to both sides: Now, divide both sides of the inequality by $-2$ to solve for $t$ . $\newline$ Remember that when you divide or multiply both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you must reverse the inequality sign. $\newline$ $-2t / -2 \geq -8 / -2$ $\newline$ $t \geq 4$
