Question

The solution to the inequality that represents the problem "Half a number plus 8 is greater than or equal to 20" is:

Answer 1

Answer :- b) x ≥ 24

Solution :-

We can write the problem presented in the form of an inequality:

• $\bf \dfrac{x}{2}+8\geq20$

Now, we can proceed to its solution:-

$\qquad$ $\pink{\twoheadrightarrow\bf \dfrac{x}{2}+8\geq20}$

$\qquad$ $\twoheadrightarrow\sf \dfrac{x}{2}\geq20-8$

$\qquad$ $\twoheadrightarrow\sf \dfrac{x}{2}\geq12$

$\qquad$ $\pink{\twoheadrightarrow\sf x\geq24}$

• Henceforth,Option b) x ≥ 24 is correct.

Answer 2

A
Greater than will always have the opening facing the number that is “greater than”
