Question

How do you solve the inequality `5 + t \ge \frac{3}{4}`?

Answer 1

First of all, you subtract 5 from both sides, and obtain
`5+t-5\geq \frac{3}{4}-5`
which means
`t \geq \frac{3}{4}-5`
Now, we only need to compute `\frac{3}{4}-5` to finish, and since `5=\frac{20}{4}`, we get that `\frac{3}{4}-5=\frac{3}{4}-\frac{20}{4}=-\frac{17}{4}`.

The answer is thus `t\geq -\frac{17}{4}`.
