Question 103043: Solve for x. Collect xs on the LEFT side. The solution should be presented with x first, the correct inequality symbol, then the number.
-x +4 -9x +3 ≥ 7(x-2)
I have been trying to figure this out for an hour and I have four more problems like this. Please help so I can understand.
Thank you.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
-x +4 -9x +3 ≥ 7(x-2)
-10x+7 >= 7x-14
Add 10x to both sides to get:
7 >= 17x-14
Add 14 to both sides to get:
21 >= 17x
Turn it around:
17x <= 21
Divide both sides by 17
x <= 21/17
