Solve the inequality 2(5c-7)\geq 10(c-3)

Question

Solve the inequality

`2(5c-7)\geq 10(c-3)`

Answer 1

1 Remove parentheses.

2(5c−7)≥c−3

2 Expand.
10c−14 ≥ c −3


3 Add 14 to both sides.
10c-14+14≥ c − 3+14


4 Simplify c−3+14 to c+11
10c≥c+11

5 Subtract c from both sides.

10c−c≥11

6 Simplify 10c−c to 9c
9c≥11

7 Divide both sides by 9.
c ≥11/9
