6 - 2x < = 12 or 7 + 2x < - 11

a. - 10

b. - 8

c. - 6

d. - 4

a. - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

6 - 2x < = 12 or 7 + 2x < - 11

Lets look at the first one first

6 - 2x < = 12

Subtract 6 from each side

6-6 - 2x < = 12-6

-2x < = 6

Divide by - 2, remembering to flip the inequality

-2x/-2 <=6/-2

x >=-3

Now we solve the second one

7 + 2x < - 11

Subtract 7 from each side

7-7 + 2x <-11-7

2x <-18

2x/2 <-18/2

x <-9

Answer x = - 3

-10 is <-9 so it is a solution
