15x-3\left(2-x\right)\geq 5\left(4x+1\right)-\left(x-5\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 15, the least common multiple of 5,3,15. Since 15 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
15x-6+3x\geq 5\left(4x+1\right)-\left(x-5\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply -3 by 2-x.
18x-6\geq 5\left(4x+1\right)-\left(x-5\right)
Combine 15x and 3x to get 18x.
18x-6\geq 20x+5-\left(x-5\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by 4x+1.
18x-6\geq 20x+5-x-\left(-5\right)
To find the opposite of x-5, find the opposite of each term.
18x-6\geq 20x+5-x+5
The opposite of -5 is 5.
18x-6\geq 19x+5+5
Combine 20x and -x to get 19x.
18x-6\geq 19x+10
Add 5 and 5 to get 10.
18x-6-19x\geq 10
Subtract 19x from both sides.
-x-6\geq 10
Combine 18x and -19x to get -x.
-x\geq 10+6
Add 6 to both sides.
-x\geq 16
Add 10 and 6 to get 16.
x\leq -16
Divide both sides by -1. Since -1 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.
