Solve the inequality 8(x+9) -7(x+6) greater than or equal to 24

8(x+9) -7(x+6) greater than or equal to 24
Perform multiplication
(8x+72)(-7x-42) greater than or equal to 24
Combine like terms
x+30 greater than or equal to 24
Subtract 30 from both sides.
Final  x is less greater than or equal to -6.

Hello, we are first going to "distribute" your inequality. Here is what "distributing" should look like:
(8)(x)+(8)(9)+(−7)(x)+(−7)(6)
(8)(x) becomes 8x, (8)(9) equals 72, (-7)(x) become -7x, (-7)(6) equal -42. Now set it up in the correct order and it should look like this:
8x+72+−7x+−42
Next step is to combine like terms:
So take this: 8x+72+−7x+−42
Now put the numbers with the variables together and the ones with out the variables together: (8x+−7x)+(72+−42)(8x+−7x) should become X and (72+−42) equals to 30 so
Your answer is:
x+30
Sorry if this seems a bit confusing, but I hoped it helps you~
