Question

anonymous · Answer

2x+3=5...would this be right?

anonymous · Answer

It says "at least five". That's the bit driving me bonkers.

anonymous · Answer

2x+3<or=5 making 2x=8 and x atleast 4 i believe

anonymous · Answer

You'd have to minus 3 from each side, so I think it's a > 1. Thank you so much!

anonymous · Answer

I read it this way:
$$2x+3\geq{5}$$

anonymous · Answer

So $$\ge$$ 1?

anonymous · Answer

$$x\geq{1}$$
You can right click on my equation, hit show formating and then paste that into the window that pops up when you hit the "E Equation" button.  Modify the code to see how your formated equation is displayed.

Oooh, ok. Thank you so much, sir!
