12x-20+5\leq 16x+1
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by 3x-5.
12x-15\leq 16x+1
Add -20 and 5 to get -15.
12x-15-16x\leq 1
Subtract 16x from both sides.
-4x-15\leq 1
Combine 12x and -16x to get -4x.
-4x\leq 1+15
Add 15 to both sides.
-4x\leq 16
Add 1 and 15 to get 16.
x\geq \frac{16}{-4}
Divide both sides by -4. Since -4 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.
x\geq -4
Divide 16 by -4 to get -4.
