Question

solve the inequality and graph the solution on the line provided.
8x + 5 ≥ 21
answer attempt 1 out of 5
< > ≤ ≥ or
inequality notation:
number line:

Explanation:

Step1: Subtract 5 from both sides

$$8x+5 - 5\geq21 - 5$$
$$8x\geq16$$

Step2: Divide both sides by 8

$$\frac{8x}{8}\geq\frac{16}{8}$$
$$x\geq2$$

Answer:

Inequality Notation: \(x\geq2\)

For the number line: Place a closed circle at \(x = 2\) (because the inequality is \(\geq\), so 2 is included in the solution set) and draw a line to the right of 2 towards positive infinity.
