Given:
The inequality is
[tex]-2x\geq 16[/tex]
To find:
The correct symbol for the inequality x __ -8.
Solution:
We have,
[tex]-2x\geq 16[/tex]
When we divide or multiply an inequality by a negative number, then we need to change the sign of inequality.
Divide the given inequality by -2.
[tex]\dfrac{-2x}{-2}\leq \dfrac{16}{-2}[/tex]
[tex]x\leq -8[/tex]
The correct symbol for the blank is ≤.
Therefore, the correct option is J.
