To solve the inequality 5 + 7x ≥ 11x + 3 - 4x, we first simplify both sides of the inequality:
Starting with the left side, we combine like terms: 5 + 7x.
Next, on the right side, we combine like terms: 11x - 4x + 3 = 7x + 3.
Our inequality now becomes: 5 + 7x ≥ 7x + 3.
To isolate the variable x, we want to get all the x terms on one side of the inequality:
Starting with the right side, we subtract 7x from both sides: 5 + 7x - 7x ≥ 7x - 7x + 3.
This simplifies to: 5 ≥ 3.
Since 5 is greater than or equal to 3, this statement is true, regardless of the value of x. Therefore, the inequality is true for all real numbers.
So, the solution to the inequality is x ≤ 2.
