5 (x-2) ≥ 7x
\n" ); document.write( "5x-10 >=7x; subtract 7x from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "-2x-10>=0
\n" ); document.write( "-2x>=10
\n" ); document.write( "x<= -5
\n" ); document.write( "Check the answer
\n" ); document.write( "x=-6
\n" ); document.write( "5(-8)>=-42, that is true.
\n" ); document.write( "x=-4
\n" ); document.write( "5(-6)>=-28, that is not true. \n" ); document.write( "
