let "a number" = x; at least = ≥
9x - 9 ≥ 36
Isolate the x. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.
First, add 9 to both sides
9x - 9 (+9) ≥ 36 (+9)
9x ≥ 45
Divide 9 from both sides to isolate the x.
(9x)/9 ≥ (45)/9
x ≥ 45/9
x ≥ 5
x ≥ 5 is your answer

this is true with any number of 5 or above
Here are numbers below
9x4 = 36 36-9 = 27
9x3 = 27 27-9 18
9x2 = 18 18-9 = 9
9x1 = 9 9-9=0
This proves that the number must be five or above. This doesn't work with 4.9999999999...9999, just 5 as a whole number or above
