Question
Solve the inequality
x≥−53
Alternative Form
x∈[−53,+∞)
Evaluate
−2(3x−1)≤5−x
Expand the expression
More Steps

Evaluate
−2(3x−1)
Apply the distributive property
−2×3x−(−2×1)
Multiply the numbers
−6x−(−2×1)
Any expression multiplied by 1 remains the same
−6x−(−2)
If a negative sign or a subtraction symbol appears outside parentheses, remove the parentheses and change the sign of every term within the parentheses
−6x+2
−6x+2≤5−x
Move the expression to the left side
−6x+2+x≤5
Move the expression to the right side
−6x+x≤5−2
Add and subtract
More Steps

Evaluate
−6x+x
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(−6+1)x
Add the numbers
−5x
−5x≤5−2
Add and subtract
−5x≤3
Change the signs on both sides of the inequality and flip the inequality sign
5x≥−3
Divide both sides
55x≥5−3
Divide the numbers
x≥5−3
Solution
