Answer:
See below:
Explanation:
Here is the solution to each of the given expressions with all steps:
a. 2x + 3 > 23
Subtract 3 from both sides:
2x + 3 - 3 > 23 - 3
2x > 20
Divide both sides by 2:

x > 10
Therefore, the solution to the inequality is x > 10.

b. x > 2 and x + 3 < 7
Since we have two inequalities, we need to solve them separately and then combine the solutions.
Solving the first inequality:
x > 2
Solving the second inequality:
x + 3 < 7
Subtract 3 from both sides:
x + 3 - 3 < 7 - 3
x < 4
Now, we combine the solutions of the two inequalities:
x > 2 and x < 4
This means that the only values of x that satisfy both inequalities are the values that are greater than 2 but less than 4. The only such value is x = 3.

c. [2x + 3] >= 23
The ceiling function, denoted by [], takes a real number as input and returns the smallest integer that is greater than or equal to the input.
Therefore, the expression [2x + 3] >= 23 means that the smallest integer that is greater than or equal to 2x + 3 must be greater than or equal to 23.
Solving the inequality:
2x + 3 >= 23
Subtract 3 from both sides:
2x + 3 - 3 >= 23 - 3
2x >= 20
Divide both sides by 2:

x >= 10
Therefore, the solution to the inequality is x >= 10.

d. x² + 2x when x = 5**
Substitute x = 5 into the expression:
5² + 2 × 5
(25 + 10)
35
Therefore, the value of the expression when x = 5 is 35.

e. 2x² + 2y when x=5,y=3
Substitute x = 5 and y = 3 into the expression:
2(5²) + 2(3)
2(25) + 2(3)
50 + 6
56
Therefore, the value of the expression when x = 5 and y = 3 is 56.
