a>= 17a17

Explanation:

"distribute the bracket"distribute the bracket

rArr-20+5a>=6520+5a65

"Isolate 5a by adding 20 to both sides"Isolate 5a by adding 20 to both sides

cancel(-20)cancel(+20)+5a>=65+20

rArr5a>=85

"divide both sides by 5"

(cancel(5) a)/cancel(5)>=85/5

rArra>=17" is the solution"
