Question

Solve the inequality. \(-\frac{a}{10} \leq-2\)

Short answer

The solution to the inequality is \(a \geq 20\).

Step-by-step solution

Remove the negative sign by multiplying both sides by -1

Multiply both sides of the inequality by -1 while reversing the inequality sign. This gives \(\frac{a}{10} \geq 2\)

Clear the fraction

Multiply both sides by 10, to clear the fraction. This gives \(a \geq 20\).

Final Answer

The solution to the inequality is \(a \geq 20\), which means any number greater than or equal to 20 is a solution to the inequality.
