Math Problem Statement

2x+4>=5x-5

Solution

To solve the inequality 2x+45x52x + 4 \geq 5x - 5, follow these steps:

Step 1: Move all terms involving xx to one side.

Subtract 2x2x from both sides: 45x52x4 \geq 5x - 5 - 2x This simplifies to: 43x54 \geq 3x - 5

Step 2: Move the constant terms to the other side.

Add 5 to both sides: 4+53x4 + 5 \geq 3x This simplifies to: 93x9 \geq 3x

Step 3: Solve for xx.

Divide both sides by 3: 93x\frac{9}{3} \geq x 3x3 \geq x

Final answer:

x3x \leq 3

Thus, the solution is x3x \leq 3.
