Answer:
[tex]j\geq -44[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The inequality given is:
[tex]\frac{-2}{11}j\leq 8[/tex]
To solve the inequality, we must get the variable j by itself.
j is being multiplied by -2/11. To reverse this, we must multiply by the reciprocal of the fraction.
Flip the numerator (top number) and denominator (bottom number) to find the reciprocal.
[tex]\frac{-2}{11} --> \frac{-11}{2}[/tex]
Multiply both sides of the equation by -11/2.
[tex]\frac{-11}{2} *\frac{-2}{11} j \leq 8*\frac{-11}{2}[/tex]
[tex]j\leq 8*\frac{-11}{2}[/tex]
Since we multiplied by a negative number, we must flip the inequality sign.
[tex]j\geq 8*\frac{-11}{2}[/tex]
Multiply 8 and -11/2
[tex]j\geq 8*-5.5[/tex]
[tex]j\geq -44[/tex]
The solution to the inequality is: [tex]j\geq -44[/tex]
