How do you solve #50 ≥ 15x#?

Answer 1

Julia Adams

Things you can do to both sides of an inequality without effecting the orientation of the inequality:

Add or subtract any value
Multiply or divide by any value greater than 0.

Given #50>=15x# we can divide both sides by #15# #10/3 >= x#

If you want the #x# on the left side make sure that you "flip" the inequality as well as the values: #x<= 10/3#

To solve the inequality 50 ≥ 15x, you need to isolate x. First, subtract 50 from both sides to get 0 ≥ 15x - 50. Then, add 50 to both sides to get 50 ≥ 15x. Finally, divide both sides by 15 to get x ≤ 50/15, which simplifies to x ≤ 10/3 or approximately x ≤ 3.33.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
