Question

Can someone help me with this math problem? I have no idea where to begin. Solve: |y + 8| ≥ 3

Answer 1

Since y+8 is positive, you don't have to find the absolute value since the absolute value is y+8. all you have to do is find a number that makes the statement true for y. the symbol between next to the 3 asks for a number that is greater or equal to 3. So your answer would be

≥-5
