Answer: x>-5

Explanation:

For this problem there are 2 ways to solve for x.

Solution 1

6((x/2)+4)≥9 [distribute 6 to x/2 and 4]

3x+24≥9 [subtract 24 on both sides]

3x≥-15 [divide both sides by 3]

x≥-5

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Solution 2

6((x/2)+4)≥9 [divide both sides by 6]

(x/2)+4≥1.5 [subtract 4 on both sides]

x/2≥-2.5 [multiply 2 on both sides]

x≥-5
