3x – 1 ≥ 8
Select the appropriate response
A)3x ≥ 3
B)x≥9
C)x≥5
D)x≥3

D. x≥3

Step-by-step explanation:

☜☆☞ given equation 3x-1 ≥ 8

–» 3x ≥ 8+1

–» 3x ≥ 9

–» x ≥ 9÷3

–» x ≥ 3

D x > 3 because you take the 1 from the original equation and add it to the other side so you get 3x > 9. After that you divide both sides by 3 and get x > 3

table 3 represents a direct variation function. : )
