Question

Solve using the addition and multiplication principles.
-$13 x-3 \leq 12 x+5$
A) $\{\mathrm{x} \mid \mathrm{x} \leq 8\}$
B) $\{x \mid x>13\}$
C) $\{x \mid x<13\}$
D) $\{x \mid x \geq 8\}$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To solve the inequality $13x - 3 \leq 12x + 5$, subtract $12x$ from both sides to get $x - 3 \leq 5$. Then, add $3$ to both sides to get $x \leq 8$. This corresponds to choice A, $\{x \mid x \leq 8\}$.
