You just solve this like you would an other equation. I'm going to just put > for this problem.

So we have: 7x-10>16.

Add 10 to get x by itself: 7x>26.

But x isn't by itself so we have to divide by 7. This isn't going to come out even because we're dividing an even by an odd, but: x>26/7

So x>3.714... or x>26/7. Both are correct.

7x-10 is greater than or equal to 16.
First, add 10 to both sides.
This will give you 7x is greater than or equal to 26.
Now, you dived 26 by 7.
This gives you 3.7142. Hope this helped!
