Question

I never understood the problems like this.

Answer 1

I seriously never have :/

Answer 2

:true the equality sign likes it = sign: and solve for j

Answer 3

8 just put it in equation

Answer 4

substitute the values and whichever number makes the inequality true is the answer and 8 is the answer because 8-6=2 and 2 is greater than 1

Answer 5

add 6 on both sides
\[j \ge 7\]

Answer 6

except there r rules to change > to <; "i believe it change signs when u divided by negative or multiply by negative numbers, not sure tho"

Answer 7

i think substituting the values is an easier way because you won't be able to mix up any signs or symbols... and just make sure it makes the inequality true though! @ChasingThePursuit

Answer 8

sub is like guess and checks: only work for those easy problems:

Answer 9

best is to solve it and get more understanding rather then guess and check: beside the answer isnt just 8, its j>=7, so anything gather then 7 is a answer:

Answer 10

eh, that's the way my teacher taught me..... you can also just solve for the variable and match and substituting is a good way to double check.... either way is fine.... they all work but i suppose solving for the variable is more professional :)

Answer 11

I take it the answer would basically be 6?

Answer 12

@ihelp either way is fine though hahaha but just saying that the only answer given is 8 lol...

Answer 13

The answer is 8 @ChasingThePursuit

Answer 14

it can also be 7... the answer is any number 7 and up and the only one given is 8 so that is your answer :)

Answer 15

Get ready for another doozy. It;s dividing whole numbers and fractions.

Answer 16

cool well hope that helped :)

Answer 17

\(\begin{align}j-6 \ge 1\\
j \ge 7

\end{align}\)


Pick one number that's greater than 7 among the choices. Answer would be 8.

Answer 18

@ChasingThePursuit you should close this question since you have the answer now so we can look out for your next one that you post.. :/

Answer 19

unless you're gonna post it here? haha
