Answer:

x ≥ 5

Explanation:

To simplify the given inequality, we need to isolate the variable "x".

≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡

Step-1: Subtract 3 both sides

4x + 3 ≥ 23

⇒ 4x + 3 - 3 ≥ 23 - 3

⇒ 4x ≥ 23 - 3

⇒ 4x ≥ 20

Step-2: Divide 4 both sides

⇒ 4x ≥ 20

⇒ 4x/4 ≥ 20/4

x ≥ 5

≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡

(Note: The solution of the book you provided in your question is incorrect. Seek below for proof)

*answer is x is greater than or equal to 3.​*

Substituting 3 in the inequality:

4x + 3 ≥ 23

4(3) + 3 ≥ 23

12 + 3 ≥ 23

15 ≥ 23 (False)

Answer:

x ≥ 5

Explanation:


\sf 4x+3\ge \:23

subtract 3 from both sides


\sf 4x+3-3\ge \:23-3

simplify


\sf 4x\ge \:20

divide both sides by 5


\sf (4x)/(4)\ge (20)/(4)

simplify


\sf x\ge \:5
