Let's Check Our Answer!
We can check our solution by substituting a few values into the given inequality. The value satisfies the inequality if the inequality remains true after substituting and simplifying.
w
w - 8 ≥ 5.6

True or False?
13.5
13.5 - 8 ≥ 5.6
5.5 ≱ 5.6
False
13.6
13.6 - 8 ≥ 5.6
5.6 ≥ 5.6
True
13.7
13.7 - 8 ≥ 5.6
5.7 ≥ 5.6
True
We can conclude that as long as w is greater than or equal to 13.6, the inequality is satisfied.
