What is the inequality for this verbal description?
The value of y is greater than or equal to the sum of five times the value of x
and negative three.


Sagot :

Answer:

y >= 5x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

since the verbal description mentions "sum", we need to have at least two things to add together.

for this reason we cannot misinterpret the -3 as an element to be included in the "5 times" term, because otherwise we would not have a second thing to build a sum.
