1. Problem Description

The problem is to solve the inequality 2(x4)3x52(x-4) \geq 3x - 5 for xx.

2. Solution Steps

First, distribute the 2 on the left side of the inequality:
2(x4)3x52(x-4) \geq 3x - 5
2x83x52x - 8 \geq 3x - 5
Next, subtract 2x2x from both sides of the inequality:
2x82x3x52x2x - 8 - 2x \geq 3x - 5 - 2x
8x5-8 \geq x - 5
Then, add 5 to both sides of the inequality:
8+5x5+5-8 + 5 \geq x - 5 + 5
3x-3 \geq x
This can also be written as:
x3x \leq -3

3. Final Answer

x3x \leq -3
