2\left(3x+2\right)\leq 5\left(2x-2\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 10, the least common multiple of 5,2. Since 10 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
6x+4\leq 5\left(2x-2\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 3x+2.
6x+4\leq 10x-10
Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by 2x-2.
6x+4-10x\leq -10
Subtract 10x from both sides.
-4x+4\leq -10
Combine 6x and -10x to get -4x.
-4x\leq -10-4
Subtract 4 from both sides.
-4x\leq -14
Subtract 4 from -10 to get -14.
x\geq \frac{-14}{-4}
Divide both sides by -4. Since -4 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.
x\geq \frac{7}{2}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-14}{-4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -2.
