Question

I do not get how to do this problem

Answer 1

Cross multiply

Explanation:

`(2x+1)/(3)\geq 5\\\\ 2x+1\geq 15\\2x\geq 15-1\\2x\geq 14\\(2x)/(2)\geq (14)/(2)\\ x\geq ((2)(7))/(2)\\ x\geq 7`

Answer 2

Multiply the three on both sides, then subtract the one on both sides and finally divide by 2 on both sides. Since you aren’t multiplying or dividing with negatives, you keep the sign the same.
