that's what im having trouble with

5(x + 2) is greater than or equal to 7x + 2(x-1) first distribute 5 and 2 into the parenthesis so you would get:
5x + 10 is greater than or equal to 7x + 2x - 1

Forgot to distribute 2 with 1 in the original equation. So it'd actually be :
5x + 10 is greater than or equal to 7x + 2x - 2
