no
Solution
Solution Steps
To determine if \( d = 144 \) is a solution to the inequality \( 44 \geq 8 + \frac{d}{2} \), substitute \( d = 144 \) into the inequality and check if the inequality holds true.
Step 1: Substitute \( d = 144 \) into the inequality
Substitute \( d = 144 \) into the inequality \( 44 \geq 8 + \frac{d}{2} \).
\[
44 \geq 8 + \frac{144}{2}
\]
Step 2: Simplify the expression
Calculate \( \frac{144}{2} \).
\[
\frac{144}{2} = 72
\]
Substitute back into the inequality:
\[
44 \geq 8 + 72
\]
Step 3: Simplify further
Add \( 8 + 72 \).
\[
8 + 72 = 80
\]
Substitute back into the inequality:
\[
44 \geq 80
\]
Step 4: Evaluate the inequality
Check if \( 44 \geq 80 \).
Since \( 44 \) is not greater than or equal to \( 80 \), the inequality does not hold.
