The sum of \(5x\) and \(2x\) is at least 14.

5x + 2x = AT LEAST 14 Which means 7x is at least 14 So if we divide both sides by 7 x is at least 2 **which means it is 2 at its lowest value but could also be higher ****-> we write this as greater than or equal to 2 **
x ≥ 2

The sum of number is at least 14 means the sum is either equal to 14 or greater then 14 . So,
According to the question,
5x + 2x ≥ 14 = 7x ≥ 14 = x ≥ 14 / 7 = x ≥ 2

The sum of 5 x and 2 x is at least 14, which simplifies to 7 x ≥ 14 . Dividing both sides by 7 gives us x ≥ 2 . Therefore, the minimum value for x is 2, but it can also be any value greater than 2.
