Question

solve the inequality for v.
8v - 21 ≥ 2v - 9
simplify your answer as much as possible.

Explanation:

Step1: Subtract $2v$ from both sides

$8v - 2v - 21 \geq 2v - 2v - 9$
$6v - 21 \geq -9$

Step2: Add 21 to both sides

$6v - 21 + 21 \geq -9 + 21$
$6v \geq 12$

Step3: Divide by 6 on both sides

$\frac{6v}{6} \geq \frac{12}{6}$
$v \geq 2$

Answer:

$v \geq 2$
