Question:
Solve the inequality:
5.1 – r ≥ 5
Answer:
r ≤ 0.1
Solution:
Step 1: Given inequality:
5.1 – r ≥ 5
Step 2: Subtract 5.1 from both sides of the inequality
⇒ 5.1 – r – 5.1 ≥ 5 – 5.1
⇒ – r ≥ – 0.1
Step 3: To reverse the inequality, multiply both sides by –1.
⇒ (–r) × (–1) ≥ – 0.1 × (–1)
Negative × Negative = Positive
⇒ r ≤ 0.1
Hence the solution to the given inequality is r ≤ 0.1.
