Answer:
x\geq -2

Explanation:

Given the inequality
2(3x - 1) \geq 4x -6 you need to solve for "x".

Apply Distributive property on the left side of the equation:


6x - 2 \geq 4x -6

Now add 2 to both sides:


6x - 2+(2) \geq 4x -6+(2)


6x \geq 4x -4

The next step is to subtrac
4x from both sides:


6x-(4x) \geq 4x -4-(4x)


2x \geq -4

And finally, divide both sides by 2:


(2x)/(2)\geq  (-4)/(2)\\\\x\geq -2

For this case we must find the value of the variable "x" of the following expression:


2 (3x-1) \geq4x-6

We apply distributive property to the terms within parentheses:
6x-2 \geq4x-6

We subtract 4x on both sides:


6x-4x-2 \geq-6\\2x-2 \geq-6

We add 2 to both sides:


2x \geq-6 + 2\\2x \geq-4

We divide between 2 on both sides:


x \geq \frac {-4} {2}\\x \geq-2

Answer:


x \geq-2
