Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Find the solution set for the inequality 3x + 5 ≥ 2x + 8.
Correct Answer: x ≥ 3
  • Step 1: Start with the inequality: 3x + 5 ≥ 2x + 8.
  • Step 2: To isolate x, first subtract 2x from both sides: 3x - 2x + 5 ≥ 8.
  • Step 3: This simplifies to: x + 5 ≥ 8.
  • Step 4: Next, subtract 5 from both sides: x ≥ 8 - 5.
  • Step 5: This simplifies to: x ≥ 3.
