Answer:

no solution

Explanation:

You attempt to solve this the same way you would an equation.

4(x +1) ≤ 4x +3 . . . . . . given

4x +4 ≤ 4x +3 . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

4 ≤ 3 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 4x from both sides

This is a false statement. There are no values of x that will make it true. So, there is NO SOLUTION.

__

Whenever you run across a false statement in the solution process, you know there is No Solution.
