eight times a number is at least 16
so, what's next?
The given situation states that "eight times a number is at least 16".
This can be written as:
8x ≥ 16
So, the inequality is 8x ≥ 16.
Since we are multiplying the number by 8, the inequality becomes:
8x ≥ 16
We use the "≥" symbol to represent "at least" or "greater than or equal to" in the inequality.
