Math Problem Statement
Solve the inequality and graph the solution on the line provided. minus, 11, plus, 8, x, is greater than or equal to, 13 −11+8x≥ 13
Solution
To solve the inequality:
Step 1: Isolate the term with
Add 11 to both sides of the inequality:
Step 2: Solve for
Now, divide both sides by 8:
So, the solution is .
Step 3: Graph the solution
The solution means that includes all values greater than or equal to 3. On a number line, we represent this as a solid circle at and shade the line to the right of 3 to indicate all numbers greater than or equal to 3.
