x ≥ 200

Solution means that before 2/5 shirts were sold, there were 200 shirts.

Explanation:

Given in the question the inequality

3/5x + 30 ≥ 150

Suppose number of shirts that were on display = x

A)

Explain what 3/5 means in the in equality

As stated in the question2/5 of the shirts are sold means

(1 - 2/5) shirts are left

3/5 = (1 - 2/5)

B)

3/5x + 30 ≥ 150

3/5x ≥ 150 - 30

3/5x ≥ 120

x ≥ 120 * (5/3)

x ≥ 200

C)

Solution means that before 2/5 shirts were sold, there were 200 shirts.
