Answer

All real numbers are solutions. The graph is shown below.

Work Step by Step

The given inequality is $\Rightarrow 2(5c-7)\geq 10(c-3)$ Use distributive property. $\Rightarrow 10c-14\geq 10c-30$ Add $30$ to each side. $\Rightarrow 10c-14+30\geq 10c-30+30$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 10c+16\geq 10c$ Subtract $10c$ from each side. $\Rightarrow 10c+16-10c\geq 10c-10c$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 16\geq 0$ The inequality is true. Hence, all real numbers are solutions.
