\huge\bf{SOLUTION}:

Hey there, hope you are having a wonderful day! :)

Let's solve this inequality.

First of all, let's move all the numbers to the right, using the
\bf{\underline{opposite\:\:operation\:}:


\longmapsto
\sf{x-1\geq 4+x


\longmapsto\sf{x\geq 4+x+1


\longmapsto\sf{x\geq x+5

Now, let's move the variables to the left:


\longmapsto\sf{x-x\geq 5


\longmapsto\sf{0\geq 5

Now, as you can see, we ended up with a false statement. 0 is NOT greater than 5.

Thus, there are no values of x that make the inequality true, and the inequality has


\bold{No\:solutions.}

Hope you find it helpful.

Feel free to ask if you have any doubts.
