Question

two times the sum of a number and 22 is at least 17

use the variable y for the unknown number

Answer 1

2y+22>17 then 2y>-5 or y>-5/2 in interval notation y is in the interval [-5/2, infinity)

or possibly it means 2(y+22) > 17 Then y>-27/2

if you meant two times the sum of (y+22) is at least 17

Your problem is slightly ambiguous as written, but multiplication takes precedence over addition, so the first inequality is probably what you intended
