5x - 3 ≥ 17

Answer 1

Answer:

$5x-3\ge \:17\quad :\quad \begin{bmatrix}\mathrm{Solution:}\:&\:x\ge \:4\:\\ \:\mathrm{Interval\:Notation:}&\:[4,\:\infty \:)\end{bmatrix}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$5x-3\ge \:17$

$\gray{\mathrm{Add\:}3\mathrm{\:to\:both\:sides}}$

$5x-3+3\ge \:17+3$

$\gray{\mathrm{Simplify}$

$5x\ge \:20$

$\gray{\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}5}$

$\dfrac{5x}{5}\ge \dfrac{20}{5}$

$\gray{\mathrm{Simplify}}$

$x\ge \:4$
