Answer

$\left( -\infty,4 \right]$

Work Step by Step

Using the properties of inequality, the solution to the given inequality, $ 48+x\ge5(2x+4)-2x ,$ is \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} 48+x\ge10x+20-2x \\\\ 48+x\ge8x+20 \\\\ x-8x\ge20-48 \\\\ -7x\ge-28 \\\\ x\le\dfrac{-28}{-7} \\\\ x\le4 .\end{array} In interval notation, the solution is $ \text{the interval } \left( -\infty,4 \right] .$
