ok. the first thing we have to do is isolate the variable.
to undo the division we can multiply the 8 on both sides
5x/8 ≥30
×8 ×8
5x≥240
then divide to undo the multiplication
5x≥30

5 5
x≥48

[tex] \frac{5x}{8} \geq 30 \\ \\ 5x \geq 30 \times 8 \\ \\ 5x \geq 240 \\ \\ x \geq \frac{240}{5} \\ \\ x \geq 48 \\ \\ [/tex]
The answer is: x ≥ 48
The answer is: x ≥ 48
