Answer:
-2x + 8 (greater than or equal to sign) 27
Step-by-step explanation:
Twice a number = 2x now add a negative sign since it is "difference"
Add 8 (it says "and")
lastly, the sign and 27.
Answer:
2x-8 ≥ 27
Step-by-step explation
2x-8 ≥ 35
2x ≥ 35
x ≥ 17.5 (17 1/5)
So x should be 17.5 or more in order the when you multiply 35 by 2 and then subtract 8 the result will be 27 or more
Example x= 17( will not match the inequality because x should be 17.5 or greater)
17*2 = 34
34-8=26 (this is less than 27)
x=18
18*2=36
36-8=28 (28 is greater than 27,so it matches the inequality)
so x could be from 17.5 to intinite
On the number line you mark the number 17.5 filling the dot and you draw an arrow to the right
