2\times 3x-\left(2x+2\right)\leq 18\left(x+1\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 6, the least common multiple of 3,6. Since 6 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
6x-\left(2x+2\right)\leq 18\left(x+1\right)
Multiply 2 and 3 to get 6.
6x-2x-2\leq 18\left(x+1\right)
To find the opposite of 2x+2, find the opposite of each term.
4x-2\leq 18\left(x+1\right)
Combine 6x and -2x to get 4x.
4x-2\leq 18x+18
Use the distributive property to multiply 18 by x+1.
4x-2-18x\leq 18
Subtract 18x from both sides.
-14x-2\leq 18
Combine 4x and -18x to get -14x.
-14x\leq 18+2
Add 2 to both sides.
-14x\leq 20
Add 18 and 2 to get 20.
x\geq \frac{20}{-14}
Divide both sides by -14. Since -14 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.
x\geq -\frac{10}{7}
Reduce the fraction \frac{20}{-14} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.
