Solve 2x + 10 greater then are equal to 12 Make sure to write your inequality so that x comes first

1 answer

To solve the inequality \( 2x + 10 \geq 12 \), follow these steps:

  1. Subtract 10 from both sides:

    \[ 2x + 10 - 10 \geq 12 - 10 \]

    This simplifies to:

    \[ 2x \geq 2 \]

  2. Divide both sides by 2:

    \[ \frac{2x}{2} \geq \frac{2}{2} \]

    This simplifies to:

    \[ x \geq 1 \]

Now, to write the inequality so that \( x \) comes first, you can rearrange it:

\[ x \geq 1 \]

This can also be written as:

\[ 1 \leq x \]

Thus, the final inequality is:

\[ x \geq 1 \]

or equivalently,

\[ 1 \leq x \]
