Question 71726: We have started inequalities and although I understand some of it, I'm having a problem doing the different kinds of problems. Can someone please help me with understand how the types of problems should be solved? Thanks!
inequalities and the solution set.
5 (t-2) + 7 is greater than or equal to 17 - 2(t-4)

inequalities and the solution set.
5 (t-2) + 7 is greater than or equal to 17 - 2(t-4)
5%28t-2%29%2B7%3E=17-2%28t-4%29
5t-10%2B7%3E=17-2t%2B8
5t-3%3E=-2t%2B25
5t%2B2t-3%3E=-2t%2B2t%2B25
7t-3%3E=0%2B25
7t-3%3E=25
7t-3%2B3%3E=25%2B3
7t%3E=28
7t%2F7%3E=28%2F7
t%3E=4
By solution set, do you mean set builder notation or interval notation?
{t|t is a real number and t>=4} is set builder notation.
[t,infinity) is interval notation
