To solve the inequality \(4(t-1) - 6t \geq t + 8\), we need to simplify and isolate \(t\) on one side of the inequality. Here are the high-level steps:
Distribute and combine like terms on the left side.
Move all terms involving \(t\) to one side and constant terms to the other side.
Solve for \(t\).
Step 1: Distribute and Combine Like Terms
First, distribute the \(4\) on the left side of the inequality:
\[
4(t - 1) - 6t \geq t + 8 \implies 4t - 4 - 6t \geq t + 8
\]
Combine like terms:
\[
-2t - 4 \geq t + 8
\]
Step 2: Move All Terms Involving \(t\) to One Side
Add \(2t\) to both sides to isolate the terms involving \(t\):
\[
-4 \geq 3t + 8
\]
Step 3: Move Constant Terms to the Other Side
Subtract \(8\) from both sides to isolate the term involving \(t\):
\[
-12 \geq 3t
\]
Step 4: Solve for \(t\)
Divide both sides by \(3\) to solve for \(t\):
\[
-\frac{12}{3} \geq t \implies -4 \geq t \implies t \leq -4
\]
