solve 8x + 4 > 52 but the > has a line underneath it.

The symbol > with a line underneath it indicates "greater than or equal to", so the inequality can be written as:

8x + 4 ≥ 52

To solve for x, we will subtract 4 from both sides:

8x + 4 - 4 ≥ 52 - 4
8x ≥ 48

Then, divide both sides by 8 to isolate x:

(8x) / 8 ≥ 48 / 8
x ≥ 6

So the solution to the inequality is x ≥ 6.
