To solve the inequality \( 8x + 4 \geq 52 \), follow these steps:
-
Subtract 4 from both sides: \[ 8x + 4 - 4 \geq 52 - 4 \] This simplifies to: \[ 8x \geq 48 \]
-
Divide both sides by 8: \[ \frac{8x}{8} \geq \frac{48}{8} \] This gives: \[ x \geq 6 \]
So the solution to the inequality is: \[ x \geq 6 \]
