Math Problem Statement

2​(6plus​x)greater than or equals13minus3x

Solution

The inequality you've written is:

2(6+x)133x2(6 + x) \geq 13 - 3x

Step-by-step solution:

  1. Distribute the 2 on the left-hand side: 26+2x133x2 \cdot 6 + 2 \cdot x \geq 13 - 3x This simplifies to: 12+2x133x12 + 2x \geq 13 - 3x

  2. Move all terms with xx to one side and the constants to the other side: 2x+3x13122x + 3x \geq 13 - 12 Simplifying: 5x15x \geq 1

  3. Solve for xx by dividing both sides by 5: x15x \geq \frac{1}{5}

Final Answer:

x15x \geq \frac{1}{5}

This means the solution to the inequality is any xx that is greater than or equal to 15\frac{1}{5}.
