Answer

$x \ge \dfrac{c}{a}+\dfrac{c}{b}$

Work Step by Step

With a, b, and c positive constants, dividing and/or multiplying any if them to both sides of the inequality will not affect the inequality symbol Divide $a$ to both sides to have: $bx-c\ge\dfrac{bc}{a}$ Add $c$ to both sides to have: $bx \ge \dfrac{bc}{a}+c$ Divide $b$ to both sides to have: $x \ge \dfrac{\frac{bc}{a}+c}{b} \\x \ge \dfrac{bc}{ab}+\dfrac{c}{b} \\x \ge \dfrac{c}{a}+\dfrac{c}{b}$
