2x-4\leq 7x-14
Use the distributive property to multiply 7 by x-2.
2x-4-7x\leq -14
Subtract 7x from both sides.
-5x-4\leq -14
Combine 2x and -7x to get -5x.
-5x\leq -14+4
Add 4 to both sides.
-5x\leq -10
Add -14 and 4 to get -10.
x\geq \frac{-10}{-5}
Divide both sides by -5. Since -5 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.
x\geq 2
Divide -10 by -5 to get 2.
