1. Problem Description

The problem is to solve the inequality 4+34(x+2)38x+14 + \frac{3}{4}(x+2) \le \frac{3}{8}x + 1.

2. Solution Steps

First, distribute the 34\frac{3}{4} in the left side of the inequality:
4+34x+34(2)38x+14 + \frac{3}{4}x + \frac{3}{4}(2) \le \frac{3}{8}x + 1
4+34x+6438x+14 + \frac{3}{4}x + \frac{6}{4} \le \frac{3}{8}x + 1
4+34x+3238x+14 + \frac{3}{4}x + \frac{3}{2} \le \frac{3}{8}x + 1
Convert all terms to have a common denominator, which is 8:
328+68x+12838x+88\frac{32}{8} + \frac{6}{8}x + \frac{12}{8} \le \frac{3}{8}x + \frac{8}{8}
Combine the constants on the left side:
448+68x38x+88\frac{44}{8} + \frac{6}{8}x \le \frac{3}{8}x + \frac{8}{8}
Multiply both sides by 8 to eliminate the fractions:
44+6x3x+844 + 6x \le 3x + 8
Subtract 3x3x from both sides:
44+6x3x3x3x+844 + 6x - 3x \le 3x - 3x + 8
44+3x844 + 3x \le 8
Subtract 44 from both sides:
4444+3x84444 - 44 + 3x \le 8 - 44
3x363x \le -36
Divide both sides by 3:
3x3363\frac{3x}{3} \le \frac{-36}{3}
x12x \le -12

3. Final Answer

x12x \le -12
