Math Problem Statement
Which of the following are solutions to the inequality 3 ≥ a/33 + 2?
Solution
The inequality you provided is:
To solve this inequality, follow these steps:
-
Isolate the variable term :
-
Multiply both sides by 33 to eliminate the denominator:
This simplifies to:
The solution to the inequality is . Now, let's check which values from the options provided are solutions:
- : This does not satisfy , so it's not a solution.
- : This does not satisfy , so it's not a solution.
- : This does not satisfy , so it's not a solution.
- : This does satisfy , so it's a solution.
Thus, the correct solution is .
