Answer :
The value of an item is greater than or equal to 5. This statement is represented by the inequality [tex]x\geq 5[/tex] .
An inequality is a mathematical relation which compares the values of two different entities.
The various symbols used in expressing inequalities are
- a>b means a is greater than b
- b<a means b is less than a
- [tex]a\geq b[/tex] means a is greater than or equal to b
- [tex]a\leq b[/tex] means a is less than or equal to b.
Linear inequalities in one variable are represented on the number line.
For example: a>100 represents all numbers greater than 100 along the number line
Linear inequalities in two variables are represented as a region in a cartesian plane.
For example: 2x+3y<6 represents a region below the straight line 2x+3y=6.
The given statement denotes that the value of the item is greater than or equal to 5.
Therefore the required inequality is : [tex]x\geq 5[/tex].
