3x - 15 ≥ 3
3x > = 18
x >= 6
x is greater than or equal to 6. Not just "equal to" 6.
x might be 6, or 7, or 100. It's 6 or more than 6.

# 2

The inequality 3n < 52 is read "three n is less than 52" and it translates to the English phrase "triple some number is less than 52"



=======================================================================
# 3
