Question 865088
"one third of a number is added to eight, giving a result of at least 3" translates to {{{x/3 + 8 >= 3}}}



Solve for x



{{{x/3 + 8 >= 3}}}



{{{x/3>= 3-8}}}



{{{x/3>= -5}}}



{{{x>= -5*3}}}



{{{x>= -15}}}



So the unknown number is at least -15 (ie it's either -15 or it's larger than -15)
