0.8(3x+6)>=1.1-(x+2)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2.4x +4.8>= 1.1-x-2=-x-0.9 Distribute the -1 over both the x and 2 to get -x and -2.
\n" ); document.write( "Add x to both sides
\n" ); document.write( "3.4 x + 4.8>=-0.9
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 4.8 from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "3.4 x >= -5.7
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 3.4
\n" ); document.write( "x>=-1.67 (not 1 2/3)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "To check:
\n" ); document.write( "Try 0, it should work\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "0.8(6)>=1.1-2
\n" ); document.write( "4.8>=-(0.9)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Try -2. It should not work
\n" ); document.write( "0.8(-6+6)>=1.1 -(-2+2)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "0.8 >=1,1 Not true
