$4(2x+5)-2x=8x+20-2x=6x+20$.

Now the inequality is:

$6x+20>=10$

$6x>=-10$

$x>=-6$

Or, in interval notation: $\boxed{[-6, \infty)}$

Thank you but the correct answer is x≥-5/3.

I did the same thing you did, so i thought that was the correct answer as well. Apparently not. Thanks a lot though. c:

Oh my god, thank you so much, I just realized where I went wrong. I had a brain freeze, on the last step, where I divide by 6, you get $x>=\frac{-10}{6}=\frac{-5}{3}$, not $x>=-6$. I'm really sorry.

Hey there, Guest!

$$4(2x+5)−2x≥10$$

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the inequality.

$$6x+20≥10$$

Step 2: Subtract 20 from both sides.

$$6x+20−20≥10−20$$

$$6x≥−10$$

Step 3: Divide both sides by 6.

$$\frac{6x}{6}$$$$≥$$$$\frac{-10}{6}$$

Therefore, your answer is $$x≥ \frac{-5}{3}$$.

Hope this helped! :)
