Expand and Simplify: Expand both sides of the inequality.On the left side, apply the distributive property to 2x(2x−3).2x(2x)−2x(3)=4x2−6xOn the right side, apply the distributive property to −3(2x+1).4x2−3(2x)−3(1)=4x2−6x−3Now the inequality looks like this:4x2−6x≥4x2−6x−3
Subtract to Simplify: Subtract 4x2 from both sides of the inequality to simplify.4x2−6x−4x2≥4x2−6x−3−4x2This simplifies to:−6x≥−6x−3
Isolate Constant Term: Subtract −6x from both sides of the inequality to isolate the constant term on one side.−6x+6x≥−6x−3+6xThis simplifies to:0≥−3
Analyze Simplified Inequality: Analyze the simplified inequality.The inequality 0≥−3 is always true, because 0 is always greater than or equal to −3.This means that the original inequality holds for all values of x.
