Step-by-step Solution

Specify the solving method

1

Multiply the single term $2$ by each term of the polynomial $\left(x+1\right)$

$2x+2-3\left(x-2\right)\leq x+6$
2

Multiply the single term $-3$ by each term of the polynomial $\left(x-2\right)$

$2x+2-3x+6\leq x+6$
3

Add the values $2$ and $6$

$8+2x-3x\leq x+6$
4

Combining like terms $2x$ and $-3x$

$8-x\leq x+6$
5

Grouping terms

$8-x-x\leq 6$
6

Combining like terms $-x$ and $-x$

$8-2x\leq 6$
7

Moving the term $8$ to the other side of the inequation with opposite sign

$-2x\leq 6-8$
8

Subtract the values $6$ and $-8$

$-2x\leq -2$
9

Multiply both sides of the inequality by $-1$, reversing the sign

$2x\geq 2$
10

Divide both sides of the inequation by $2$

$x\geq \frac{2}{2}$
11

Divide $2$ by $2$

$x\geq 1$

$x\geq 1$
