Answer

Set notation :- $\{x|x\geq \frac{4}{3}\}$ Interval notation :- $[\frac{4}{3},\infty )$. The graph is shown below.

Work Step by Step

Multiply both sides by $4$. $4\cdot \frac{x}{2} \geq 4\cdot (1- \frac{x}{4}) $ Simplify. $2x \geq 4- x $ Add $x$ to both sides. $2x+x \geq 4- x+x $ Simplify. $3x \geq 4 $ Divide both sides by $3$. $\dfrac{3x}{3}\geq \dfrac{4}{3} $ Simplify. $x\geq \dfrac{4}{3} $ The solution set is $\{x|x\geq \frac{4}{3}\}$ or interval notation is $\left[\frac{4}{3},\infty\right)$. To graph, use an open bracket at $\frac{4}{3}$ and shade the region to its right..
