X≥6


Work:
3x-23 ≥-5
3x-23+23 ≥-5+23
3x ≥18
3x/3 ≥18/3
X ≥6

The solution is:

x ≥ 6

Work/explanation:

To solve this inequality, I should isolate x.

First I add 23 on each side


\multimap\phantom{333}\bf{3x\geqslant-5+23}


\multimap\phantom{333}\bf{3x\geqslant18}

Divide each side by 3


\multimap\phantom{333}\bf{x\geqslant6}

Hence, x ≥ 6.
