Answer:

x≥2

Explanation:

First, write out the equation as you have it:


58-10x\leq20+9x

Then, add
10x to both sides:


58-10x+10x\leq20+9x+10x\\58\leq20+19x

Next, subtract
20 from both sides:


58-20\leq20-20+19x\\38\leq19x

Finally, divide both sides by
19:


(38)/(19)\leq(19x)/(19)\\2\leq x

or


x\geq 2

Therefore: the answer to this inequality/equation is: x≥2
