Solve for both \[2x+1\geq5 \\ \\ 2x \geq 4 \\ \\ x \geq 2\] ------------------------------------------- \[-3 \geq-9 \] Divide both sides by -3 flips the sign \[x \leq 3\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but how do you explain the graphing?

sam (.sam.):

Rewrite that as \[2 \leq x \leq 3\]

sam (.sam.):

x is in the region \[2 \leq x \leq 3\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but we have to graph it on a number line
