Answer

x≥−359x \geq -\frac{35}{9}

Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Simplify the absolute value on the right side of the inequality.

    −2−35x≤∣13∣-2 - \frac{3}{5}x \leq \left|\frac{1}{3}\right| −2−35x≤13-2 - \frac{3}{5}x \leq \frac{1}{3}
  2. Add 2 to both sides of the inequality.

    −35x≤13+2- \frac{3}{5}x \leq \frac{1}{3} + 2

    To add the numbers on the right side, find a common denominator.

    −35x≤13+63- \frac{3}{5}x \leq \frac{1}{3} + \frac{6}{3} −35x≤73- \frac{3}{5}x \leq \frac{7}{3}
  3. Multiply both sides by −53-\frac{5}{3} to solve for xx.

    Remember to reverse the inequality sign when multiplying or dividing by a negative number.

    (−53)(−35x)≥(73)(−53)\left(-\frac{5}{3}\right) \left(-\frac{3}{5}x\right) \geq \left(\frac{7}{3}\right) \left(-\frac{5}{3}\right) x≥−359x \geq -\frac{35}{9}
