Question

How do you solve `-2>=-d/34`?

Answer 1

See the entire solution process below:

Explanation:

To solve for `d` multiply each side of the inequality by `color(blue)(-34)` which will also keep the inequality balanced. However, because this is an inequality and we are multiplying or dividing by a negative term we must reverse the inequality term:

`color(blue)(-34) xx -2 color(red)(<=) color(blue)(-34) xx -d/34`

`68 color(red)(<=) -cancel(color(blue)(34)) xx -d/color(blue)(cancel(color(black)(34)))`

`68 color(red)(<=) - -d`

`68 <= d`

To solve in terms of `d` we must reverse or "flip" the inequality:

`d >= 68`
