Question

solve the inequality and graph the solution on the line provided.

5x + 17 ≥ 52

answer attempt 1 out of 2

< > ≤ ≥ or

inequality notation:

number line:

Explanation:

Step1: Subtract 17 from both sides

$$5x+17 - 17\geq52 - 17$$
$$5x\geq35$$

Step2: Divide both sides by 5

$$\frac{5x}{5}\geq\frac{35}{5}$$
$$x\geq7$$

Answer:

Inequality Notation: \(x\geq7\)

For the number line: Place a closed - circle at \(x = 7\) (because the inequality is \(\geq\)) and shade to the right of \(7\) on the number line.
