Answer: C)
x\geq1(1)/(2)

Explanation:

Let's solve your inequality step-by-step.


4x-7\geq (-12x+14)/(4)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the inequality.


4x-7\geq -3x +(7)/(2)

Step 2: Add 3x to both sides.


4x+3x-7\geq -3x+3x +(7)/(2)\\7x-7\geq(7)/(2)

Step 3: Add 7 to both sides.


7x-7+7\geq(7)/(2) +7\\7x\geq(21)/(2)

Step 4: Multiply both sides by
(1)/(7).


7x((1)/(7)) \geq(21)/(2) ((1)/(7)) \\x\geq(21)/(14) \\x\geq 1(1)/(2)
