Question

How do you solve `5x + 7\geq 4`?

Answer 1

`x\geq-0.6`

Explanation:

Replace the inequality sign with an equal sign and continue simplifying as you would with a usual linear equation, then replace the equal sign with the same sign in the question.

`5x+7=4`

`5x=-3`

`x=-3/5`

`x=-0.6`

So

`x\geq-0.6`
