Answer

t $\geq$ 12

Work Step by Step

$\frac{3}{4}$t - 4 $\geq$ 5 Add 4 to both sides to get $\frac{3}{4}$t by itself: $\frac{3}{4}$t - 4 + 4 $\geq$ 5 + 4 $\frac{3}{4}$t $\geq$ 9 Now, multiply both sides by $\frac{4}{3}$ to get t by itself: ($\frac{4}{3}$)($\frac{3}{4}$)t $\geq$ 9 ($\frac{4}{3}$) t $\geq$ 11.99 $\approx$ 12
