We are given inequality:

2x +7 less than equal to 3x -5.

2x +7 ≤ 3x -5

Subtracting 7 from both sides, we get

2x +7-7 ≤ 3x -5-7

2x ≤ 3x -12.

Subtracting 3x from both sides, we get

2x-3x ≤ 3x -3x -12

-x ≤ -12.

Dividing both sides by -1. we get

x ≥ 12.

Note: When we multiply or divide be a negative number the inequality sign get flip.

Therefore, x is greater than or equal to 12.
