See a solution process below:

Step 1) Add $color(red)(4.23)$ to each side of the inequality to isolate the $x$ term while keeping the inequality balanced:

$0.01x - 4.23 + color(red)(4.23) >= 0 + color(red)(4.23)$

$0.01x - 0 >= 4.23$

$0.01x >= 4.23$

Step 2) divide each side of the inequality by $color(red)(0.01)$ to solve for $x$ while keeping the inequality balanced:

$(0.01x)/color(red)(0.01) >= 4.23/color(red)(0.01)$

$(color(red)(cancel(color(black)(0.01)))x)/cancel(color(red)(0.01)) >= 423$

$x >= 423$

How do you solve 0.01x - 4.23\geq 00.01x - 4.23\geq 0?
