Question

PLEASE HELP ME!! This assignment is already late!

If d + 5 >= (greater than or equal to) 17, complete each inequality.

d >= ?

d + ? >= 20

d - 5 >= ?

Answer 1

d + 5 >= 17
We can subtract 5 from each side:
d >= 12
To get 20 on the right, we have to add 8 to each side (20-12=8).

d + 8 >= 20

To get d - 5 from the first expression (d + 5 >= 17) we have to subtract ten from each side (5-10=-5) and we get:

d - 5 >= 7
