Question

what does the inequality $x \geq 5$ represent?
\bigcirc a. $x$ is less than 5
\bigcirc b. $x$ is less than or equal to 5
\bigcirc c. $x$ is greater than 5
\bigcirc d. $x$ is greater than or equal to 5

Explanation:

The inequality symbol $\geq$ means "greater than or equal to". So $x \geq 5$ represents that $x$ takes values that are either greater than 5 or exactly equal to 5. This matches option d.

Answer:

d. x is greater than or equal to 5
