Solution:

Given the inequality:


2x-8\ge22-4x

To solve the above inequality,

step 1: Collect like terms.

Thus,


\begin{gathered} 2x+4x\ge22+8 \\ \Rightarrow6x\ge30 \end{gathered}

step 2: Divide both sides by the coefficient of x.

The coefficient of x is 6.

Thus,


\begin{gathered} (6x)/(6)\ge(30)/(6) \\ \Rightarrow x\ge5 \end{gathered}

Hence, we have the solution to the inequality to be


x\ge5

The correct option is A
