0.9x+2.8≤5.95
0.9 x plus 2.8 less than or equal to 5.95

3.4x−1.2≥4.75
3.4 x minus 1.2 greater than or equal to 4.75

5.6x−18.9≤0.7
5.6 x minus 18.9 less than or equal to 0.7

2.1x+5.6≥8.75

Answer 1

Solve each for x and compare to x ≥ 1.5.

A: 0.9x + 2.8 ≤ 5.95 → 0.9x ≤ 3.15 → x ≤ 3.5
B: 3.4x − 1.2 ≥ 4.75 → 3.4x ≥ 5.95 → x ≥ 1.75
C: 5.6x − 18.9 ≤ 0.7 → 5.6x ≤ 19.6 → x ≤ 3.5
D: 2.1x + 5.6 ≥ 8.75 → 2.1x ≥ 3.15 → x ≥ 1.5

So the correct choice is: 2.1x + 5.6 ≥ 8.75.
