Question 4 options:

x ≤ - 5

x ≥ - 5

x ≥ 5

x ≤ - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

(Flip/reverse the inequality when you multiply/divide by a negative value)

x ≤ 10/-2

x ≤ - 5

x ≤ - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- 2x - 1 ≥ 9 (add 1 to both sides)

- 2x ≥ 10

Divide both sides by - 2, reversing the symbol as a result of dividing by a negative quantity.

x ≤ - 5
