Question

What value of x is in the solution set of 2(3x – 1) ≥ 4x – 6? –10 –5 –3 –1

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer: -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given by your question

2(3x-1)≥4x-6

Distributive property to take off the parentheses

2×3x-2×1≥4x-6

6x-2≥4x-6

Subtract 4x on both sides (Subtractive property of equality)

6x-2-4x≥4x-6-4x

2x-2≥-6

Add 2 on both sides (Addition property of equality)

2x-2+2≥-6+2

2x≥-4

Divide 2 on both sides (Division property of equality)

2/2 x≥-4/2

x≥-2
