you can follow the steps Reiny showed you.

Can you solve

3x ≥ 0 ??
If so, then find x, and then let x = r-4 and then find r.

Is the answer r≥-4

nope. If r=5,

-3(5-4) = -3 which is not ≥4
when you multiply an inequality by a negative value, you change the direction of the inequality. So, the correct answer is r≤4

To solve the inequality -3(r-4) ≥ 0, we can follow these steps:

1. Distribute the -3 to the terms inside the parentheses:
-3r + 12 ≥ 0

2. Rearrange the inequality by subtracting 12 from both sides:
-3r ≥ -12

3. Divide both sides of the inequality by -3. Remember to reverse the inequality symbol when dividing by a negative number:
r ≤ 4

So, the solution to the inequality is r ≤ 4.
