Explanation:

Step1: Isolate the term with x

Subtract 3 from both sides of the inequality $3 + 5x\geq23$.
$3 + 5x-3\geq23 - 3$
$5x\geq20$

Step2: Solve for x

Divide both sides of the inequality $5x\geq20$ by 5.
$\frac{5x}{5}\geq\frac{20}{5}$
$x\geq4$

Answer:

Inequality Notation: $x\geq4$
Number Line: Plot a closed - circle at 4 (because the inequality is $\geq$) and draw a line to the right of 4.
