Question

What is 6 more than 5 times a number (x) is at least 21

Answer 1

Six more than five times a number is at least twenty one is set up like this:

6 + 5x ≥ 21

By subtracting six from both sides you're left with 5x ≥ 15

Divide five from both sides to isolate the variable and you're done.

x ≥ 3 (By being greater or equal to three x can be 3, 4, 5, 6, etc.)
