Answer: The correct option is (D)
x\geq 2.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to solve the following inequality for x :


-4\geq10-7x~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)

We will be using the following rule of inequalities :


-a\geq -b~~~\Rightarrow a\leq b.

From inequality (i), we get


-4\geq10-7x\\\\\Rightarrow -4-10\geq -7x\\\\\Rightarrow -14\geq -7x\\\\\Rightarrow 14\leq 7x\\\\\Rightarrow (14)/(7)\leq x\\\\\Rightarrow 2\leq x\\\\\Rightarrow x\geq 2.

Thus, the required solution is
x\geq 2.

Option (D) is CORRECT.
