00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.108
Here is the problem: negative 5x plus 2 greater than or equal to 6.

2
00:00:05.558 --> 00:00:09.354
Solve the inequality and give the answer in interval notation.

3
00:00:10.154 --> 00:00:22.820
Move everything to one side and isolate the variable. Collect terms: negative 5x minus 4 greater than or equal to 0. Dividing by a negative coefficient reverses the inequality sign.

4
00:00:23.270 --> 00:00:40.325
Test one point in each interval (sign chart). (-∞, negative 4 over 5): test x equals negative 2 → sign plus → included; (negative 4 over 5, ∞): test x equals 1 → sign minus → excluded.

5
00:00:40.775 --> 00:00:48.298
Decide the endpoints. negative 4 over 5: included (the expression equals 0 and the sign allows equality).

6
00:00:48.748 --> 00:00:50.211
Write the solution set.

7
00:00:51.011 --> 00:00:54.633
So the answer is (-∞, negative 4 over 5].

8
00:00:55.083 --> 00:01:11.534
The inequality holds exactly for x in (-∞, negative 4 over 5]. Points where the expression is undefined are never included, and endpoints are included only for less than or equal to or greater than or equal to where the expression equals zero.

9
00:01:12.334 --> 00:01:16.247
x equals negative 2: satisfies the inequality.

10
00:01:16.697 --> 00:01:20.343
x equals 1: does not satisfy the inequality.
