Question 7 • NC-Foundations of Math 1 (Fall) [1st 9 Weeks]

What value of x is in the solution set of 3(x – 4) ≥ 5x + 2?

Answer
A
–10
B
–5
C
5
D
10

Explanation

Distribute the 3: 3x − 12 ≥ 5x + 2. Subtract 3x and then subtract 2 to get −14 ≥ 2x, so x ≤ −7. Of the choices, only −10 is at most −7, so the answer is A, −10.
