Answer 1

Answer:

$x \geq 15$

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving an inequality is very similar to solving an equation, one uses inverse operations. The only major difference between the two is that when one multiplies or divides an inequality by a negative number, one must remember to flip the inequality sign to ensure that the inequality remains true. In this situation, such a rule does not come into play.

$\frac{x}{5} - 8 \geq -5$

Inverse operations,

$\frac{x}{5}-8 \geq -5\\ +8\\\\\frac{x}{5} \geq 3\\*5\\\\x \geq 15$
