1. Start by subtracting 15 from both sides of the inequality to isolate the variable term:
9x + 15 - 15 >= 51 - 15
9x >= 36
2. Divide both sides of the inequality by 9 to solve for x:
9x/9 >= 36/9
x >= 4
3. The solution is x >= 4, meaning any value of x that is greater than or equal to 4 will satisfy the inequality.
4. Check the solution by substituting a value greater than or equal to 4 into the original inequality and verifying that it holds true. For example, substituting x = 4:
9(4) + 15 >= 51
36 + 15 >= 51
51 >= 51
Since both sides of the inequality are equal when x = 4, the solution is valid.
9x + 15 - 15 >= 51 - 15
9x >= 36
