Answer:
2+w \ge 28

Reason:

The 2+w portion refers to "the sum of 2 and w". The term sum is the result of an addition problem.

Since that sum is greater than or equal to 28, we end up with the answer shown above. Either 2+w = 28 or 2+w > 28.

If you wanted to isolate w, then subtract 2 from both sides to end up with
w \ge 26
