[tex]\diamond\large\blue\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Question:-}}}}[/tex]
The quotient of b and 3 is greater than or equal to 19.
[tex]\diamond\large\blue\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Answer and how to solve:-}}}}[/tex]
✥First, the word "quotient" indicates that we divide.
Here we have "the quotient of b and 3", so we divide b by 3:-
[tex]\hookrightarrow[/tex][tex]\sf{b\div3}[/tex]
Now, this expression is greater than or equal to 19:-
[tex]\sf{b\div3\geq 19}[/tex]
How to Solve for b
✳︎ Multiply by 3 on both sides:-
[tex]\sf{b\geq 19\times3}[/tex]
On simplification,
[tex]\sf{b\geq 57}[/tex]
So the values of b greater than or equal to 57 will make this inequality true.
Let's solve another one.
✳︎ A number y increased by 5 is at least -21.
First, "increased" means we add 5.
Since y is increased by 5, we add 5 to y:-
[tex]y+5[/tex]
Now this expression is at least -21, which means it can't be less than -21, thus, it's greater than or equal to -21, which looks as follows:-
[tex]\sf{y+5 \geq -21}[/tex]
[tex]\rule{300}{1}[/tex]
[Solving for y]
Subtract 5 on both sides:-
[tex]\sf{y \geq -21-5}[/tex]
On simplification,
[tex]\sf{y \geq -26}[/tex]
So the values of y greater than or equal to -26 will make this inequality true.
Good luck with your studies.
