What is the solution set for the linear inequality 4 - 3x \ge 19? — JAMB UTME

What is the solution set for the linear inequality $4 - 3x \ge 19$ ?

x \le -5

Subtracting

4

from both sides simplifies the inequality to

-3x \ge 15

. Dividing both sides by

-3

requires reversing the direction of the inequality sign, yielding

x \le -5

Subtract 4 from both sides of the inequality

-3x \ge 15

Isolate the variable term

-3x

on the left side of the inequality.

Divide both sides by

-3

and reverse the inequality direction

x \le -5

Dividing an inequality by a negative number flips the inequality symbol from
