Question 1174042
.
<pre>

You start with this inequality

    2x - 2 <= 7 - x


Add x to both sides and combine like terms.  You will get then

    3x - 2 <= 7.


Now add 2 to both sides and combine like terms.   You will get

    3x <= 9


Finally, divide both sides by 3. You will get the answer


    x <= 3.


Now you decide if 4 is the solution to the given inequality.

Solved.
