Answer: Choice D

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x, aka isolate it, you add 11 to both sides. Then you divide both sides by 2 like so:


2x-11 \ge 5\\\\2x \ge 5+11\\\\2x \ge 16\\\\x \ge (16)/(2)\\\\x \ge 8\\\\

The inequality sign stays the same the entire time. It only flips if you divide both sides by a negative number, but that doesn't happen in this case.
