Q. Which of the following is a solution to the inequality below?\newline6x-6 \geq x\newlineChoices:\newline(A) x=3x = -3\newline(B) x=4x = -4\newline(C) x=7x = -7\newline(D) x=1x = -1
  1. Understand the inequality: Understand the inequality.\newlineThe inequality 6x–6 \geq x means that xx must be less than or equal to 6–6.
  2. Test choice (A): Test choice (A) x=3x = -3. Plug in x=3x = -3 into the inequality 6x-6 \geq x. 63-6 \geq -3 This is not true because 3-3 is greater than 6-6.
  3. Test choice (B): Test choice (B) x=4x = -4. Plug in x=4x = -4 into the inequality 6x-6 \geq x. 64-6 \geq -4 This is not true because 4-4 is greater than 6-6.
  4. Test choice (C): Test choice (C) x=7x = -7. Plug in x=7x = -7 into the inequality 6x-6 \geq x. 67-6 \geq -7 This is true because 7-7 is less than 6-6.
  5. Test choice (D): Test choice (D) x=1x = -1. Plug in x=1x = -1 into the inequality 6x-6 \geq x. 61-6 \geq -1 This is not true because 1-1 is greater than 6-6.
  6. Choose the correct answer: Choose the correct answer.\newlineFrom the tests above, only choice (C) x=7x = -7 satisfies the inequality 6x-6 \geq x.
