--------------------------
7(-x+4)+16 >= 5X-(10x-6)-6
Simplify each side of the inequality.
-7x+28+16 >= 5x-10x+6-6
Continue to simplify
-7x+44 >= -5x
Add 7x to both sides to get:
44 >= 2x
Divide both sides by 2 to get:
22 >= x
Switch the sides to get:
x <= 22

Solve the inequality for x:
Apply the distributive property to the left side.
Simplify both sides.
Add 7x to both sides of the inequality.
Divide both sides by 2.
