What is the solution of the inequality (-3x\ge 21)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (x\le -7)

The direct answer is option A, x\le -7. Start with -3x\ge 21. Divide both sides by -3. Whenever an inequality is divided or multiplied by a negative number, its sign reverses, so \ge becomes \le. Thus x\le 21/(-3)=-7. Option A is correct and includes -7 because the original sign is inclusive. Option B, x\ge -7, forgets to reverse the sign. Option C, x<-7, reverses the sign but wrongly removes equality; x=-7 actually satisfies the original inequality because -3(-7)=21. Option D, x>-7, has both the wrong direction and the wrong boundary. A quick check confirms the result: x=-8 gives 24\ge21, while x=0 gives 0\not\ge21. Memory cue: dividing an inequality by a negative flips the sign.
