Equality Properties

  • Multiplication Property of Equality
  • Division Property of Equality
  • Addition Property of Equality
  • Subtract Property of Equality

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

2x + 5 ≥ 27

Step 2: Solve for x

  1. Subtract Property of Equality: 2x + 5 - 5 ≥ 27 - 5
  2. [Simplify] Subtract: 2x ≥ 22
  3. Division Property of Equality: 2x/2 ≥ 22/2
  4. [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.
