Subtracting 5 from both sides will be your best choice.

For instance, your problem states x + 5 ≥ 10

Now to isolate x you will need to get rid of the 5. Since a addition sign is before 5 we will need to use the subtraction property to isolate x. It will look like so,

x + 5 ≥ 10

-5 -5

You will be left with x ≥ 5.

Hope this helped! :)
