Answer

$4.4\geq t$

Work Step by Step

$-2(0.5-4t)\geq-3(4-3.5t)\longrightarrow$ multiply using the distributive property $-1+8t\geq-12+10.5t\longrightarrow$ subtract 8t from each side $-1+8t-8t\geq-12+10.5t-8t\longrightarrow$subtract $-1\geq-12+2.5t\longrightarrow$ add 12 to each side $-1+12\geq-12+2.5t+12\longrightarrow$ add $11\geq2.5t\longrightarrow$ divide each side by 2.5 $11\div2.5\geq2.5t\div2.5\longrightarrow$ divide $4.4\geq t$
