alleryDivide BOTH sides of -6x ≥ 24 by -3. Result:
A-2x ≥ 8
B2x ≤ -8 (sign FLIPS because divided by negative)
C2x ≥ -8
D2x = 8
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. 2x ≤ -8 (sign FLIPS because divided by negative)
Dividing both sides by -3 (a negative number) flips the inequality sign: -6x/(-3) = 2x, 24/(-3) = -8, with ≥ flipping to ≤.
**So 2x ≤ -8 → x ≤ -4.**
