How do you solve the inequality 24 ≤ h + 15?

Back

Subtract 15 from both sides: 24 - 15 ≤ h, which simplifies to 9 ≤ h or h ≥ 9.

Front

How do you solve the inequality y - 13 ≤ -15?

Back

Add 13 to both sides: y ≤ -15 + 13, which simplifies to y ≤ -2.

How do you solve the inequality x + 5 > 7?

Back

Subtract 5 from both sides: x > 7 - 5, which simplifies to x > 2.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality r - 14 ≥ 17?

Back

Add 14 to both sides: r ≥ 17 + 14, which simplifies to r ≥ 31.
