1. We are given the inequality $$\frac{2}{5} + \frac{3}{7} \geq \frac{x}{35}$$ and need to find the solution set for $x$.
2. First, find a common denominator to add the fractions on the left side. The denominators are 5 and 7, and their least common multiple is 35.
3. Convert each fraction to have denominator 35:
$$\frac{2}{5} = \frac{2 \times 7}{5 \times 7} = \frac{14}{35}$$
$$\frac{3}{7} = \frac{3 \times 5}{7 \times 5} = \frac{15}{35}$$
4. Add the fractions:
$$\frac{14}{35} + \frac{15}{35} = \frac{14 + 15}{35} = \frac{29}{35}$$
5. Substitute back into the inequality:
$$\frac{29}{35} \geq \frac{x}{35}$$
6. Multiply both sides by 35 to clear denominators:
$$35 \times \frac{29}{35} \geq 35 \times \frac{x}{35}$$
$$\cancel{35} \times \frac{29}{\cancel{35}} \geq \cancel{35} \times \frac{x}{\cancel{35}}$$
$$29 \geq x$$
7. This means $x$ must be less than or equal to 29.
8. In interval notation, the solution set is $$(-\infty, 29]$$.
Therefore, the correct choice is A with the solution set $(-\infty, 29]$.
