00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.981
Here is the problem: 6x plus 4 greater than equals negative 6.

2
00:00:05.431 --> 00:00:09.076
Solve the inequality and give the answer in interval notation.

3
00:00:09.877 --> 00:00:17.865
Move everything to one side and isolate the variable. Collect terms: 6x plus 10 greater than or equal to 0.

4
00:00:18.315 --> 00:00:36.334
Test one point in each interval (sign chart). (-∞, negative 5 over 3): test x equals negative 3 → sign minus → excluded; (negative 5 over 3, ∞): test x equals 0 → sign plus → included.

5
00:00:36.784 --> 00:00:44.226
Decide the endpoints. negative 5 over 3: included (the expression equals 0 and the sign allows equality).

6
00:00:44.676 --> 00:00:46.116
Write the solution set.

7
00:00:46.916 --> 00:00:49.737
So the answer is [-5 over 3, ∞).

8
00:00:50.187 --> 00:01:04.340
The inequality holds exactly for x in [-5 over 3, ∞). 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
00:01:05.140 --> 00:01:09.459
x equals negative 3: does not satisfy the inequality.

10
00:01:09.909 --> 00:01:13.357
x equals 0: satisfies the inequality.
