Math Problem Statement

solve X

Solve -9x ≥ 99

Solution

The inequality to solve is:

9x99-9x \geq 99

Step-by-Step Solution:

  1. Divide both sides by -9: When dividing or multiplying both sides of an inequality by a negative number, the direction of the inequality must be reversed.

x999x \leq \frac{99}{-9}

  1. Simplify:

x11x \leq -11

Final Answer:

x11x \leq -11
