Answer

$\left( -\infty,29 \right] $

Work Step by Step

Using the properties of inequality, the expression $ \dfrac{3}{4}(x-7)\ge x+2 $ simplifies to \begin{array}{l} 4\cdot\dfrac{3}{4}(x-7)\ge (x+2)\cdot4 \\ 3(x-7)\ge 4x+8 \\ 3x-21\ge 4x+8 \\ 3x-4x\ge 8+21 \\ -x\ge 29 \\ x\le 29 .\end{array} In interval notation, the solution set is $ \left( -\infty,29 \right] $.
