Question

X-15 greater than or equal too 8. Solve and graph inequality

Answer 1

Hey!


The first step to solving this inequality is to add 15 to both sides. We do this so as to get the variable ( x ) on its own. This can also be known as simplifying the inequality.

Original Inequality :
x - 15 ≥ 8

New Inequality {Added Plus 15 to Both Sides} :
x - 15 + 15 ≥ 8 + 15

Now we simplify the equation by solving -15 + 15 and 8 + 15.

Old Inequality :
x - 15 + 15 ≥ 8 + 15

New Inequality {Old Inequality Simplified} :
x ≥ 23

Now, that is, in fact, the solution but since I'm not sure which form you need, I've written it in other forms as well.

Solution →  x ≥ 23

Interval Notation →  [ 23, ∞ )

Below, I have also attached a graph that shows how this inequality should be graphed.

Hope this helps!
