Given the inequality equation:

2x+4≥24

Solve for x.

Solution:

In order to solve for x, we transpose first 4 to the opposite side of the equation, hence it must be taken to note that in transposing a number, the sign changes.

2x + 4 ≥ 24

2x ≥ 24 -4

2x ≥ 20

Divide both sides by 2 in order to determine the value of x.

2x/2 ≥ 20/2

x ≥ 10

Final answer:

x ≥ 10
