Question 49 • MOHEGAN - ALGEBRA 1A

What value of x is in the solution set of the inequality 4x – 12 ≤ 16 + 8x?

Answer
A
–10
B
–9
C
–8
D
–7

Explanation

Subtract 4x from both sides: −12 ≤ 16 + 4x. Subtract 16, then divide by 4 to get −7 ≤ x, so any value at least −7 is in the solution set. The choice −7 is the boundary value and satisfies the inequality.
