Answer 1

To solve the inequality 3+5x ≥ 23, we need to isolate the variable x.

First, subtract 3 from both sides of the inequality:
3+5x - 3 ≥ 23 - 3
5x ≥ 20

Next, divide both sides of the inequality by 5:
5x/5 ≥ 20/5
x ≥ 4

The solution to the inequality is x ≥ 4.

To graph the solution on the number line, plot a closed circle at 4 and shade to the right of it to represent all the values of x that are greater than or equal to 4.
