Question 407373: Hey guys, this is more of the last stuff:(
It sucks!
3x - 15 ≥ 3
x=
I kind of get it? But i keep getting 6 ?
Which my friend keeps saying is wrong?! PLEASE HELP!

And im kind of confused on how to write an inequality in words. She keeps saying i say it wrong.
Like example?
How would you say : 3n < 52
Maybe im mixing up how i say the symbols? i really don't know.
Lastly,
Write an inequality to model the situation...
Thomas earned $44 or more.
t _____ 44
Would it be > , < , ≥ , ≤
Thankyou,

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.

You're funny.
3x-15%3E=3
x%3E=6 You're right, your friend is wrong.
3n%3C52 would be read, "3 n is less than 52."
Thomas earned $44 or more
t%3E=44

# 1

3x-15%3E=3 Start with the given inequality.


3x%3E=3%2B15 Add 15 to both sides.


3x%3E=18 Combine like terms on the right side.


x%3E=%2818%29%2F%283%29 Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x.


x%3E=6 Reduce.


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

Answer:

So the answer is x%3E=6

So the solution is any number that is equal to 6 or any number that is greater 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

"Thomas earned $44 or more" means t%3E=44, so a ≥ symbol will go in between the two.

Here's a graph of function x%3E=6 (x>=6).

The domain is shown on the x axis by a green horizontal line.
