Explanation:
Step 1: Define
2x + 5 ≥ 27
Step 2: Solve for x
- Subtract Property of Equality: 2x + 5 - 5 ≥ 27 - 5
- [Simplify] Subtract: 2x ≥ 22
- Division Property of Equality: 2x/2 ≥ 22/2
- [Simplify] Divide: x ≥ 11
Here we see that any value x greater than or equal to 11 would work as a solution to the inequality.
