Question

$$5(x+1)-4x\ge-9$$

Solve for x

$x\geq -14$

Solution Steps

Use the distributive property to multiply $5$ by $x+1$.

$$5x+5-4x\geq -9$$

Combine $5x$ and $-4x$ to get $x$.

$$x+5\geq -9$$

Subtract $5$ from both sides.

$$x\geq -9-5$$

Subtract $5$ from $-9$ to get $-14$.

$$x\geq -14$$
