5x + 10 ≥ 7x + 2x - 2.................after distributing the multiplication 5x + 10 ≥ 9x - 2........................subtract 9x and subtract 10 - 4x ≥ - 12.................................divid... by - 4 and switch direction of the inequality x ≤ 3
The graph is a number line with a closed circle at 3 and shaded to th left will represent the solution.
Note whenever inequalities are multiplied or divided by negatives, the inequality reverses direction.
