To solve the inequality \( 5(2k - 3) \geq -3(4 - 3k) \), follow these steps:
-
Distribute on both sides: \[ 5(2k) - 5(3) \geq -3(4) + 3(3k) \] Simplifying this gives: \[ 10k - 15 \geq -12 + 9k \]
-
Rearrange the inequality: First, subtract \( 9k \) from both sides: \[ 10k - 9k - 15 \geq -12 \] This simplifies to: \[ k - 15 \geq -12 \]
-
Add 15 to both sides: \[ k \geq -12 + 15 \] Simplifying this gives: \[ k \geq 3 \]
Thus, the solution to the inequality is: \[ k \geq 3 \]
