The number line which represents x ≥ 8 is option A

Step-by-step explanation:

125x + 200 ≥ 1200

subtract both sides by 200:

125x + 200 - 200 ≥ 1200 - 200

125x + 0 ≥ 1000

125x ≥ 1000

divide both sides by 125:

125x/125 ≥ 1000/125

x ≥ 8

The line starts frm 8 tnen extends towards the positive side of the number line. The circle will be haded because of the equal to sign attached to the inequality.

The number line which represents x ≥ 8 is option A
