\n" ); document.write( "Let x be your age.

\n" ); document.write( "Then your grandmother's age, 77, is at least (i.e., greater than or equal to) 5 more than 8 times your age:

\n" ); document.write( "\"77%3E=8x%2B5\"

\n" ); document.write( "Solve the inequality in the same way you solve an equation.

\n" ); document.write( "\"77-5%3E=8x%2B5-5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"72%3E=8x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"72%2F8%3E=8x%2F8\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"9%3E=x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%3C=9\"

\n" ); document.write( "ANSWER: Your age is less than or equal to 9.
