If 2 + x ≥ 4, then x ≥ ≥ means equal to or greater than, right? I've kind of forgotten how to work this problem.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Isolate x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, ≥ is greater than or equal to, all you have to do is subtract the 2 :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

From the 4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So subtract 2 on both sides: \[x \ge 4-2\]\[x \ge 2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And yeah, that does mean greater than or equal to.

Hm... So: |dw:1359352356452:dw| And bringing over he two changes it from a negative to a positive. So, that's how it becomes 4 - 2, right?
