Answer

The last step is wrong. There is no solution.

Work Step by Step

The given inequality is $\Rightarrow -2(1-x)\leq 2x-7$ Use distributive property. $\Rightarrow -2+2x\leq 2x-7$ Subtract $2x$ from each side. $\Rightarrow -2+2x-2x\leq 2x-7-2x$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow -2\leq -7$ The inequality is false. Hence, the last step is wrong. There is no solution.
