Question

solve the inequality for x. what is 24 ÷ 8?
8x + 2 ≥ 26
(8x)/8 ≥ 24/8
x ≥ ?
options: 3, 8, 5, 16

Explanation:

Step1: Simplify the fraction

To find the value of \( x \), we need to simplify \( \frac{24}{8} \).
\( \frac{24}{8}=3 \)

Step2: Determine the inequality solution

From the inequality \( \frac{8x}{8} \geq \frac{24}{8} \), simplifying both sides gives \( x \geq 3 \).

Answer:

\( x \geq 3 \), so the correct option is the one with 3 (assuming the options are labeled, e.g., if the first option is "3", then the answer is: A. 3)
