Five more than twice a number is at least 33. Find the number? I don't know how to do this! Plz Help!

Answer 1

"Five more than twice a number is at least 33."

∴∴∴ 5 ∴∴∴∴ + ∴∴∴ 2 ∴ * ∴∴∴ n ∴∴∴∴∴ ≥ ∴∴∴ 33 ∴∴∴∴∴∴[Note: "∴" because WyzAnt Answers takes out spaces"

"Find the number"

Let n be the number

5 + 2n ≥ 33

2n ≥ 28 [subtract +5 from both sides retains sense of inequality]

n ≥ 14 [ divide both sides by +2; retains sense of inequality]

Answer 2

Write an inequality:

2x + 5 ≥ 33

2x ≥ 28

≥x 14
