1. **State the problem:** Solve the inequality $$\frac{3x - 2 - x}{\frac{4}{5}} \geq -1$$.
2. **Simplify the numerator:** Combine like terms in the numerator:
$$3x - 2 - x = (3x - x) - 2 = 2x - 2$$.
3. **Rewrite the inequality:** The expression becomes
$$\frac{2x - 2}{\frac{4}{5}} \geq -1$$.
4. **Divide by a fraction:** Dividing by $$\frac{4}{5}$$ is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal $$\frac{5}{4}$$:
$$\left(2x - 2\right) \times \frac{5}{4} \geq -1$$.
5. **Write the multiplication explicitly:**
$$\frac{5}{4} (2x - 2) \geq -1$$.
6. **Distribute $$\frac{5}{4}$$:**
$$\frac{5}{4} \times 2x - \frac{5}{4} \times 2 \geq -1$$
$$= \frac{10}{4}x - \frac{10}{4} \geq -1$$
7. **Simplify fractions:**
$$\frac{10}{4} = \frac{5}{2}$$, so
$$\frac{5}{2}x - \frac{5}{2} \geq -1$$.
8. **Add $$\frac{5}{2}$$ to both sides:**
$$\frac{5}{2}x - \frac{5}{2} + \frac{5}{2} \geq -1 + \frac{5}{2}$$
$$\Rightarrow \frac{5}{2}x \geq -1 + \frac{5}{2}$$.
9. **Calculate right side:**
$$-1 + \frac{5}{2} = -\frac{2}{2} + \frac{5}{2} = \frac{3}{2}$$.
10. **Divide both sides by $$\frac{5}{2}$$:**
$$x \geq \frac{\frac{3}{2}}{\frac{5}{2}}$$
11. **Simplify division:**
$$x \geq \frac{3}{2} \times \frac{2}{5} = \frac{3}{5}$$.
**Final answer:**
$$x \geq \frac{3}{5}$$.
This means all values of $$x$$ greater than or equal to $$\frac{3}{5}$$ satisfy the inequality.
