You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First, we have to put this into an inequality equation.
\n" ); document.write( "\"Five more than\" means \"5+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"Twice an number\" means \"2n,\" because we will use n as our variable.
\n" ); document.write( "\"Is at least 60\" means $\"%22%3E=60%22\"$
\n" ); document.write( "When you combine these fragments, you get:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"5%2B2n%3E=60\"$
\n" ); document.write( "To solve this, first subtract 5 from both sides.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2n%3E=55\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Then, isolate the variable by dividing by two.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"n%3E=%2855%2F2%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "This, as a decimal, is 27.5.
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
