Answer

$\color{blue}{(-\infty, +\infty)}$

Work Step by Step

Subtract each term of the binomial to obtain: $6x-2x-3 \ge 4x-5 \\4x-3 \ge 4x-5$ Add $3$ and subtract $-4x$ to both sides, then combine like terms to obtain: $4x-3+3-4x\ge 4x-5+3-4x \\0\ge -2$ The resulting statement above is true, which means that any real numbers is a solution. Thus , the solution set is: $\color{blue}{(-\infty, +\infty)}$
