Solve the inequality -3x + 7 <= 1

Worked through step by step. More algebra.

Answer
x≥2 (or [2,∞))\boxed{x \ge 2 \text{ (or } [2, \infty))}

Checking the result, substituting x=2x = 2 gives −3(2)+7=1-3(2) + 7 = 1, which satisfies the equation, and choosing x=3x = 3 gives −3(3)+7=−2≤1-3(3) + 7 = -2 \le 1, which satisfies the inequality.

Problem: Solve the inequality −3x+7≤1-3x + 7 \le 1.

Steps

  1. Subtract 7 from both sides
    −3x≤1−7-3x \le 1 - 7
  2. Simplify the right side
    −3x≤−6-3x \le -6
  3. Divide both sides by -3 and reverse the inequality sign
    x≥−6−3x \ge \frac{-6}{-3}
  4. Simplify the fraction
    x≥2x \ge 2
