Hi there!

I believe your answer is:


3v + 8 \geq 22

Here’s why:

⸻⸻⸻⸻


\boxed{\text{Breaking down the phrase...}}\\\\\text{Three times a number, v, added to eight is greater than or equal to twenty-two. }\\------------------\\\rightarrow \text{


\text{The value of '3v + 8' is greater than or equal to 22.}\\---------------\\\text{\underline{Putting it together, we would have:}}\\\\\boxed{3v + 8 \geq 22}}

⸻⸻⸻⸻
