1 answer

To solve the inequality \(\frac{t}{4} \geq -3\), we can follow these steps:

  1. Multiply Both Sides by 4: Since 4 is a positive number, multiplying both sides of the inequality does not change the direction of the inequality.

    \[ 4 \cdot \frac{t}{4} \geq 4 \cdot (-3) \]

    This simplifies to:

    \[ t \geq -12 \]

  2. Write the Final Answer: The solution to the inequality is:

    \[ t \geq -12 \]

This means that the values of \(t\) that satisfy this inequality are all real numbers greater than or equal to -12.

So, the final answer in inequality form is:

\[ t \geq -12 \]
