Question

0.2 solve & graph inequalities
solve and graph the inequality.
5x - 3 ≥ - 23

Explanation:

Step1: Add 3 to both sides

$5x-3 + 3\geq - 23+3$
$5x\geq - 20$

Step2: Divide both sides by 5

$\frac{5x}{5}\geq\frac{-20}{5}$
$x\geq - 4$

Answer:

The solution of the inequality is $x\geq - 4$. To graph it, draw a closed - circle at $-4$ on the number line (because the inequality is $\geq$) and shade to the right of $-4$.
