how do you do 5t+2>52 (there's a line under the">").?

Answer 1

Just like a regular equation.

5t + 2 ≥ 52
5t ≥ 50 { Subtracted 2 from both sides }
t ≥ 10 { Divided both sides by 5 }

There are some things you need to keep in mind when dealing with inequalities (< >). If you multiply or divide by a negative, then you need to switch the direction of the sign.

-1 < 5
1 > -5

Also, if you reciprocate both sides, the same is true:

1/2 < 3
2 > 1/3

Answer 2

First you subtract 2 from both sides. This leaves you with 5t >50. Then you divide both sides by 5. Leaving you with t>10.

Answer 3

Simply solve the equation for t where the answer is greater than or equal to 52. The answer is the set of numbers that will make a line segment on a graph.

Answer 4

5t+2>=52
5t>=50
t>=10

> with - under it means greater than or equal to

Answer 5

5t+2≥52
5t-50≥0
t-10≥0
t≥10

Answer 6

line under is equal to, so greater than or equal to. t >_ 10
