Clear denominators by multiplying through by the LCM 60, simplify, and solve for x to get x ≤ 2.

a) (2x − 1)/3 ≥ (3x − 2)/4 − (2 − x)/5. Multiply every term by the LCM of 3, 4, 5 = 60:

60·(2x − 1)/3 = 20(2x − 1) = 40x − 20.

60·(3x − 2)/4 = 15(3x − 2) = 45x − 30.

60·(2 − x)/5 = 12(2 − x) = 24 − 12x.

Inequality becomes: 40x − 20 ≥ (45x − 30) − (24 − 12x) = 57x − 54.

⇒ 40x − 20 ≥ 57x − 54 ⇒ 54 − 20 ≥ 57x − 40x ⇒ 34 ≥ 17x ⇒ x ≤ 2.
