5x/8 ≥ 30, solve the inequality
ok. the first thing we have to do is isolate the variable.to undo the division we can multiply the 8 on both sides5x/8 ≥30 ×8 ×85x≥240then divide to undo the multiplication5x≥30--- ---5 5x≥48
\(\frac{5x}{8} \geq 30 \\ \\ 5x \geq 30 \times 8 \\ \\ 5x \geq 240 \\ \\ x \geq \frac{240}{5} \\ \\ x \geq 48 \\ \\\)The answer is: x ≥ 48
