<h3><u>The value of x is greater than or equal to -4.</u></h3>

(3x + 17) ≥ 5

Subtract 17 from both sides.

3x ≥ -12

Divide both sides by 3.

x ≥ -4

What is the difference between a linear function and a nonlinear function?

Linear functions have no exponents higher than 1, and a graph that looks like a straight line. non-linear functions have at least one exponent higher than 1, and a graph that isn't a straight line

Solve each equation.<br>1. 9/2x+18+3x=11/2<br>2. (x+6)-(2x=7)-3x=-9

$1.\\\frac{9}{2}x+18+3x=\frac{11}{2}\ \ \ \ \ |Multiply\ by\ 2\\\\
9x+36+6x=11\\\\
15x+36=11\ \ \ |Subtract\ 36\\\\
15x=-25\ \ \ |Divide\ by\ 15\\\\
x=-1\frac{2}{5}\\\\
2.\\
(x+6)-(2x-7)-3x=-9\\\\
x+6-2x+7-3x=-9\\\\
-4x+13=-9\ \ \ |Subtract\ 13\\\\
-4x=-22\ \ \ |Divide\ by\ -4\\\\
x=5,5$
