Inequality word problem

7 less than - 2 times a number X is greater than or equal to 41

Less than means minus so 7 less than means - 7

-2 times a number x means - 2 times x or - 2x

is greater than or equal to means >

41=41

so

-7+-2x>41

-2x-7>41

add 7 to both sides

-2x>48

divide both sides by - 2

remember to flip sign since divided by negative

x<-96
