Evaluate the inequality x/2+3/4≤ 5x/6 − 7/12

A.

x≥4

B.

x≤3

C.

x≥−3

D.

x≤−4

Correct Answer: x≥4

Explanation

x/2 + 3/4 ≤ 5x/6 −7/12 12(x/2) + 12(3/4) ≤ 12(5x/6) −12(7/12) 6x + 9 ≤ 10x - 7 6x - 10x ≤ - 7 - 9 -4x ≤ -16 -4x/-4 ≥ -16/-4 x ≥ 4

x/2 + 3/4 ≤ 5x/6 −7/12 12(x/2) + 12(3/4) ≤ 12(5x/6) −12(7/12) 6x + 9 ≤ 10x - 7 6x - 10x ≤ - 7 - 9 -4x ≤ -16 -4x/-4 ≥ -16/-4 x ≥ 4
