Q. How are the solutions to the inequality 3x18-3x \geq 18 different from the solutions to 3x>18-3x > 18 ? Explain your reasoning.
  1. Solve Inequality 3x18-3x \geq 18: Step 11: Solve the inequality 3x18-3x \geq 18.\newlineDivide both sides by 3-3, remembering to flip the inequality sign because we are dividing by a negative number.\newline3x18-3x \geq 18 becomes x6x \leq -6.
  2. Solve Inequality 3x>18-3x > 18: Step 22: Solve the inequality 3x>18-3x > 18. Similarly, divide both sides by 3-3 and flip the inequality sign. 3x>18-3x > 18 becomes x<6x < -6.
  3. Compare Solutions: Step 33: Compare the solutions of x6x \leq -6 and x<6x < -6. The solution x6x \leq -6 includes x=6x = -6 and all numbers less than 6-6. The solution x<6x < -6 includes only numbers less than 6-6, not including 6-6 itself.
