This is x^2+2x-15>=x^2+7x-3
-5x >=+12
x < = -2.4
Check by trying 0 which should not work
-15 >=-3 does not work'
and -3 which should work
-12 >=-13 which is true.

Solve the following inequalities by stating the solution set or on a number line. Show your work. (x+5)(x-3) >= -x^2+7x-3
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

(x+5)(x-3) >= -x^2+7x-3  ====>

x^2 + 5x - 3x - 15 >= -x^2 + 7x - 3  ====>  subtract  (-x^2+7x-3)  from both sides  ====>  

2x^2 - 5x - 12 >= 0

x^2 - 2.5x - 6 >= 0  ====>  factor left side  ====>

(x+1.5)*(x-4) >= 0


The solution is the union of two semi-infinite intervals   < x <=  U  <= x < .


Or, in the interval notation,  (,] U  [,).


          VISUAL CHECK






Plot y = (x+5)(x-3) (red)  and y = .


The solution set are those points "x" in x-axis, where the red line is above the green line.

Solved.
