"At least" refers to greater than or equal to (≥).
This is because "at least" means:
- it can't be less than
- it can be equal to
- it can be greater than
This is basically like saying no less than.
If you must have at least 10 oranges for some recipe, then you must have 10 oranges, but you can also have more.

"Twice the difference of a number and 8"
This means that 2 times a number minus 8.
This can be written as 2(w - 8), since w is unknown and it's the difference between w and 8.
The 2 is being multiplied by this because it's 2 times this difference.

"At least 26"
This means ≥ 26.

Now for the actual inequality.
"Twice the difference of a number and 8"
translates to 2(w - 8)
"is at least 26"
translates to ≥ 26
Now put them together.
2(w - 8) ≥ 26

So the answer is 2(w - 8) ≥ 26.

Hope this helps! :)

Opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent.
3x+ 2= 4x-3
Subtract 3x from both sides
2= x -3
Add 3 to both sides
5= x

2y+7=4y-9
Subtract 2y from both sides
7= 2y -9
Add 9 to both sides
16 = 2y
Divide by 2 on both sides
8 = y

A games shop sells marbles
Taya2010 [7]
To start, the question is asking for surface area of a cylinder, meaning you will have to use this formula to find it: A=2πrh+2πr^2.

Since you already know that the diameter of the plastic cylinder is 4 marbles long, and each marble is 2 cm in diameter, you would multiply 4 and 2 to get that your diameter is 8 cm. However, since the surface area of a cylinder formula uses radius, you would simply divide 8 by 2 to get that the radius of the cylinder is 4 cm. 

Now, since you already know that the height of the cylinder is equal to 10 marbles, multiply the amount of marbles by 2 to get that the height of the cylinder is 20 cm. 

Now that you know the height and the diameter of the cylinder, plug the values into the formula: A=2π(4)(20)+2π(4)^2.
Assuming that pi is 3.14, simplify the equation as according to PEMDAS and you get that the area of plastic needed to make one cylinder is 602.88 cm squared
