\frac{3}{4}-\frac{3}{4}x\times \frac{1}{2}\geq \frac{1}{5}\times 5
Reduce the fraction \frac{2}{4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.
\frac{3}{4}-\frac{3\times 1}{4\times 2}x\geq \frac{1}{5}\times 5
Multiply \frac{3}{4} times \frac{1}{2} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.
\frac{3}{4}-\frac{3}{8}x\geq \frac{1}{5}\times 5
Do the multiplications in the fraction \frac{3\times 1}{4\times 2}.
\frac{3}{4}-\frac{3}{8}x\geq 1
Cancel out 5 and 5.
-\frac{3}{8}x\geq 1-\frac{3}{4}
Subtract \frac{3}{4} from both sides.
-\frac{3}{8}x\geq \frac{4}{4}-\frac{3}{4}
Convert 1 to fraction \frac{4}{4}.
-\frac{3}{8}x\geq \frac{4-3}{4}
Since \frac{4}{4} and \frac{3}{4} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
-\frac{3}{8}x\geq \frac{1}{4}
Subtract 3 from 4 to get 1.
x\leq \frac{1}{4}\left(-\frac{8}{3}\right)
Multiply both sides by -\frac{8}{3}, the reciprocal of -\frac{3}{8}. Since -\frac{3}{8} is negative, the inequality direction is changed.
x\leq \frac{1\left(-8\right)}{4\times 3}
Multiply \frac{1}{4} times -\frac{8}{3} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.
x\leq \frac{-8}{12}
Do the multiplications in the fraction \frac{1\left(-8\right)}{4\times 3}.
x\leq -\frac{2}{3}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-8}{12} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 4.
