Math Problem Statement

-6 ≤ x - 11

Solution

The inequality in the image is:

6x11-6 \leq x - 11

Steps to solve for xx:

  1. Add 11 to both sides of the inequality to isolate xx: 6+11x-6 + 11 \leq x 5x5 \leq x

Thus, the solution is: x5x \geq 5

This means that xx must be greater than or equal to 5.
