Solve it like an equation but remember that the inequality changes if you divide or multiply by a negative number.

I am new to this, could you help me do this problem? If I solve it like an equation... where do I start?

Ok, so the first inequality is $12x \ge 16-4$ $12x \ge$ $x \ge \frac{ 12 }{ 12 }$ $x \ge 1$

4. frx Group Title

$12x \ge 12$

Okay, got it... so then is the second one x $x \le 6$ ?

6. frx Group Title

$3x \le -14+5$ $3x \le -9$ $x \le \frac{ -9 }{ 3 }$ $x \le -3$

Oh, okay, I think I see what I did wrong here... so then to graph this...?

Just ask questions if you have any. Graphing it is actually really simple, do you know what a numberline is?
