Solve -15.73leq-1.17v-9.88

$$- 15.73 \leq - 1.17 v - 9.88$$

Solve for v

$$v\leq 5$$

Solution Steps

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side. This changes the sign direction.

$$-1.17v-9.88\geq -15.73$$

Add 9.88 to both sides.

$$-1.17v\geq -15.73+9.88$$

Add -15.73 and 9.88 to get -5.85.

$$-1.17v\geq -5.85$$

Divide both sides by -1.17. Since -1.17 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.

$$v\leq \frac{-5.85}{-1.17}$$

Expand \frac{-5.85}{-1.17} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.

$$v\leq \frac{-585}{-117}$$

Divide -585 by -117 to get 5.

$$v\leq 5$$
