To solve the inequality \( 5(2k - 3) \geq -3(4 - 3k) \), we can follow these steps:

  1. Distribute both sides:

    \[ 5 \cdot 2k - 5 \cdot 3 \geq -3 \cdot 4 + 3 \cdot 3k \]

    This simplifies to:

    \[ 10k - 15 \geq -12 + 9k \]

  2. Rearrange the inequality:

    To isolate \( k \), we can subtract \( 9k \) from both sides:

    \[ 10k - 9k - 15 \geq -12 \]

    This simplifies to:

    \[ k - 15 \geq -12 \]

  3. Add 15 to both sides:

    \[ k \geq -12 + 15 \]

    Which simplifies to:

    \[ k \geq 3 \]

Thus, the solution to the inequality is:

\[ k \geq 3 \]
