The correct Answer is:
To solve the inequality \(-\frac{3}{x} + 4 \leq -11\) with the condition \(x > 0\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Isolate the fraction We start by isolating the term with \(x\): \[ -\frac{3}{x} + 4 \leq -11 \] Subtract 4 from both sides: \[ -\frac{3}{x} \leq -11 - 4 \] \[ -\frac{3}{x} \leq -15 \] ### Step 2: Multiply by -1 Next, we multiply both sides of the inequality by -1. Remember that when we multiply or divide an inequality by a negative number, we must reverse the inequality sign: \[ \frac{3}{x} \geq 15 \] ### Step 3: Cross-multiply Now we can cross-multiply to eliminate the fraction. Since \(x > 0\), we can do this without changing the inequality: \[ 3 \geq 15x \] ### Step 4: Solve for \(x\) Now, we will solve for \(x\) by dividing both sides by 15: \[ \frac{3}{15} \geq x \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{1}{5} \geq x \] or \[ x \leq \frac{1}{5} \] ### Step 5: Determine the greatest possible value of \(x\) Given the condition \(x > 0\) and the result \(x \leq \frac{1}{5}\), the greatest possible value for \(x\) is: \[ x = \frac{1}{5} \] ### Final Answer The greatest possible value for \(x\) is \(\frac{1}{5}\). ---
