Answer :- b) x ≥ 24

Solution :-

We can write the problem presented in the form of an inequality:


  • \bf (x)/(2)+8\geq20

Now, we can proceed to its solution:-


\qquad
\pink{\twoheadrightarrow\bf (x)/(2)+8\geq20}


\qquad
\twoheadrightarrow\sf (x)/(2)\geq20-8


\qquad
\twoheadrightarrow\sf (x)/(2)\geq12


\qquad
\pink{\twoheadrightarrow\sf x\geq24}

  • Henceforth,Option b) x ≥ 24 is correct.
