  1. The first thing you should do in this equation is distribute the values on the outside of the parenthesis on both sides of the inequality to the insides of the parenthesis.  Therefore:

    -3(x + 1) >= -2(2x - 5)

    multiply the negative 3 through and multiply the -2 through

    -3x + (-3)1 >= (-2)2x - (-2)5

    -3x - 3 >= -4x + 10

    Now, you need to combine like terms.  Therefore you want to put your x's to one side of the inequality and the number values to the other.

    -3x - 3 >= -4x + 10

    Start by adding 4x to both sides

    -3x + 4x -3 >= -4x +4x + 10

    x - 3 >= 10

    Now add 3 to both sides

    x - 3 + 3 >= 10 + 3

    x >= 13
