Answer: 3

Step-by-step explanation: 4x-3>=2x+7

Solve for x collect x's on left side . Therefore take 2x from both sides

4x-2x-3>=2x-2x+7

2x-3>=7

Add 3 to collect the number terms on the right hand side

2x-3+3>=7+3

2x>=10

Divide both sides by 2 to solve

for x

(2x)/2>=10/2

x>=5

therefore x is greater than OR equal to 5 so three cannot be a solution
