First you need to simplify the left side of the equation to get $2x-2 \geq -12$
Then you add by two on both sides to get $2x \geq -10$
Finally you divide by 2 on both sides to get $x \geq -5$

Line CD passes through points C(3, –5) and D(6, 0). What is the equation of line CD in standard form? 5x + 3y = 18 5x – 3y = 30

$\bf C(\stackrel{x_1}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-5})\qquad 
D(\stackrel{x_2}{6}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{0})
\\\\\\
slope = m\implies 
\cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{0-(-5)}{6-3}\implies \cfrac{0+5}{6-3}\implies \cfrac{5}{3}
\\\\\\
\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y- y_1= m(x- x_1)}\implies y-(-5)=\cfrac{5}{3}(x-3)\implies y+5=\cfrac{5}{3}(x-3)$

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by LCD of 3}}{3(y+5)=3\left[ \cfrac{5}{3}(x-3) \right]}\implies 3y+15=5(x-3)
\\\\\\
3y+15=5x-15\implies -5x+3y=-30\implies \stackrel{\textit{multiplying by -1}}{5x-3y=30}$

bearing in mind the standard form uses all integers, and the x-variable cannot have a negative coefficient.
