00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.060
Here is the problem: negative x minus 6 less than equals 2x minus 4.

2
00:00:06.510 --> 00:00:10.167
Solve the inequality and give the answer in interval notation.

3
00:00:10.967 --> 00:00:23.459
Move everything to one side and isolate the variable. Collect terms: negative 3x minus 2 less than or equal to 0. Dividing by a negative coefficient reverses the inequality sign.

4
00:00:23.909 --> 00:00:41.986
Test one point in each interval (sign chart). (-∞, negative 2 over 3): test x equals negative 2 → sign plus → excluded; (negative 2 over 3, ∞): test x equals 1 → sign minus → included.

5
00:00:42.436 --> 00:00:49.518
Decide the endpoints. negative 2 over 3: included (the expression equals 0 and the sign allows equality).

6
00:00:49.968 --> 00:00:51.466
Write the solution set.

7
00:00:52.266 --> 00:00:54.936
So the answer is [-2 over 3, ∞).

8
00:00:55.386 --> 00:01:09.202
The inequality holds exactly for x in [-2 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
00:01:10.002 --> 00:01:14.333
x equals negative 2: does not satisfy the inequality.

10
00:01:14.782 --> 00:01:18.149
x equals 1: satisfies the inequality.
