Can someone me with this math problem? i have no idea where to begin.
solve: |y + 8| ≥ 3

Since y+8 is positive, you don't have to find the absolute value since the absolute value is y+8. all you have to do is find a number that makes the statement true for y. the symbol between next to the 3 asks for a number that is greater or equal to 3. So your answer would be

≥-5

The answer to your question is 1/9

X= -5because this is a single step equation so you would just have to divide -16 both sides for x to equal your solution
