To solve the inequality 17 + x ≥ 33, we need to get x by itself. We can do that by subtracting 17 from each side. This gives us the inequality 17-17 + x ≥ 33-17, which simplifies to our answer of x ≥ 16

Isolate the x. Subtract 17 from both sides

x + 17 ≥ 33

x + 17 (-17) ≥ 33 (-17)

x
≥ 33 - 17

x
≥ 16


x ≥ 16 is your answer

hope this helps
