Answer:

A

Explanation:

The inequality at hand is:

3x + 2.4 ≥ 3.0

We solve for x like a regular equation:

3x + 2.4 ≥ 3.0

3x ≥ 0.6

x ≥ 0.2

Now, we see that all the solutions to the given inequality must be greater than or equal to 0.2.

Thus, the answer is A.

Hope this helps!

To solve this, you need to isolate/get the variable "x" by itself in the inequality:

3x + 2.4 ≥ 3.0 First subtract 2.4 on both sides

3x + 2.4 - 2.4 ≥ 3.0 - 2.4

3x ≥ 0.6 Now divide 3 on both sides to get "x" by itself


(3x)/(3) \geq (0.6)/(3)

x ≥ 0.2 Your answer is the 1st option
