4(2x-11) \leq -12 +2(x-4)\\\\\implies 8x - 44 \leq -12 + 2x -8\\\\\implies 8x -44 \leq 2x -20\\\\\implies 4x - 22 \leq x - 10~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~;[\text{Dividing both sides by 2}]\\\\\implies 4x -22 +22 \leq x -10 +22~~~~~~;[\text{Adding 22 to both sides}]\\\\\implies 4x \leq x+12\\\\\implies 4x -x \leq x+12-x~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~;[\text{Subtracting x from both sides}]\\\\\implies 3x \leq 12\\\\\implies x \leq 4 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~;[\text{Dividing both sides by 3}]
