x ≥ 3
x ≥ 3

x ≤ 75
x ≤ 75

x ≤ -3

Answer 2

To solve for x, start by isolating x on one side of the inequality.

x/2 - 8 < 1

Add 8 to both sides:

x/2 < 9

Multiply both sides by 2 to eliminate the fraction:

x < 18

Therefore, the correct answer is x < 18.

Answer 3

To solve for x, start by isolating x on one side of the inequality:

5x + 2 ≥ 17

Subtract 2 from both sides:

5x ≥ 15

Divide both sides by 5:

x ≥ 3

Therefore, the correct answer is x ≥ 3.
