Exercise 43 Page 190

Isolate k by first utilizing the Distributive Property.

k≤13/6

Practice makes perfect

We can solve inequalities in almost the same way as equations. The only difference is that we need to remember to flip the inequality sign when multiplying or dividing by a negative value. For this exercise, distribute -1 on the left-hand side and 2 on the right-hand side, then simplify the terms to isolate k.

17-(4k-2)≥2(k+3)

Distribute (-1)

17-4k+2≥2(k+3)

Distribute 2

17-4k+2≥2k+6

LHS+4k≥RHS+4k

17+2≥6k+6

Add terms

19≥6k+6

LHS-6≥RHS-6

13≥6k

.LHS /6.≥.RHS /6.

13/6≥ k

Rearrange inequality

k≤13/6

The solution to the inequality is k≤ 136.
