Answer: x ≥ 7

Explanation:

Problem: 8 ≤ x - 15

1. Move the variable to the left-hand side and change its signs

-8 - x ≤ - 15

2. Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its signs

-x ≤ -15 + 8

3. Calculate the sum

- x ≤ -7

4. Change the signs on both sides of the inequality and flip the inequality sign

x ≥ 7
