Question 1039701: What integer should be added to 11 to get sum of at least 37?

x = unknown integer

we want to add it to 11, so we currently have x+11

We want the sum to be at least 37, so equal to or larger than 37, meaning that

x+11 >= 37

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let's solve for x

x+11 >= 37
x+11-11 >= 37-11
x >= 26

So we can add any integer we want as long as it's 26 or larger.
