Question 973627: If twice my age, increased by 7, is greater than or equal to 31 less my age, I am at least how old?
I know that age is x. I tried writing this formula:
2x + 7 >= x - 31
But the answer I got was x >= -38, but I don't think that's possible.
Thanks!

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
your age is x
2x+7 >= 31-x Thirty-one less your age. That will be 31-x ;;; x-31 is your age less thirty-one.
3x>=24
x>=8
