Given the inequality:
x≥237To solve this inequality, we must first solve the corresponding equation:
x=237Solve:
Given the linear equation:
x = (37/2)
Expand brackets in the right part
x = 37/2
x1=237x1=237This roots
x1=237is the points with change the sign of the inequality expression.
First define with the sign to the leftmost point:
x0≤x1For example, let's take the point
x0=x1−101=
−101+237=
592substitute to the expression
x≥237592≥23792/5 >= 37/2
but
92/5 < 37/2
Then
x≤237no execute
the solution of our inequality is:
x≥237 _____
