To find the solution set for the inequality 3(x + 4) ≥ 2x + 5, we can simplify the inequality first:

3(x + 4) ≥ 2x + 5
3x + 12 ≥ 2x + 5 (distribute 3 to both terms inside the parentheses)
3x - 2x + 12 ≥ 5 (combine like terms)
x + 12 ≥ 5 (simplify further)

To isolate the variable x, we can subtract 12 from both sides:

x + 12 - 12 ≥ 5 - 12
x ≥ -7

Therefore, the solution set for the inequality 3(x + 4) ≥ 2x + 5 is x ≥ -7, which means that x is greater than or equal to -7.
