Practice makes perfect
Let's start by solving the inequality.
17v≥ 51
v≥ 3

To solve this inequality using a calculator we begin by pressing Y=. Then, we write the inequality in the first row. Notice that we will use x as our variable, as this is the only variable we are allowed to write using the calculator.
