Let's solve the inequalities Solve: -x - 10 ≥ 14 together. The goal is to isolate x on one side of the equation.
x ≤ 24/-1
Step 1: Move -10
Step 2: -1x ≥ 24
Step 3: Divide by -1 (flip!)
x = x ≤ 24/-1. Inequality with negative coefficient.
Isolate the variable by performing inverse operations on both sides of the equation.
Multiply both sides by the denominator first to clear the fractions, then solve normally.
