Understanding Inequalities and Expressions

The video tutorial explains how to write a linear inequality from a verbal description. It focuses on understanding the phrase 'at least' in the context of inequalities, which means 'greater than or equal to.' The tutorial guides the viewer through analyzing answer options to determine the correct inequality, emphasizing that 'at least 15' means the value can be 15 or more. The correct inequality is identified as 3x + 6 is greater than or equal to 15.

What is the initial expression given in the problem description?
