1. **State the problem:** Solve the inequality $$\sqrt{2x - 3} + \sqrt{4x - 2} \leq \sqrt{6x - 5}$$.
2. **Identify domain restrictions:**
- For $$\sqrt{2x - 3}$$, require $$2x - 3 \geq 0 \Rightarrow x \geq \frac{3}{2}$$.
- For $$\sqrt{4x - 2}$$, require $$4x - 2 \geq 0 \Rightarrow x \geq \frac{1}{2}$$.
- For $$\sqrt{6x - 5}$$, require $$6x - 5 \geq 0 \Rightarrow x \geq \frac{5}{6}$$.
The overall domain is $$x \geq \frac{3}{2}$$ since it is the most restrictive.
3. **Square both sides to eliminate square roots:**
$$\left(\sqrt{2x - 3} + \sqrt{4x - 2}\right)^2 \leq (\sqrt{6x - 5})^2$$
Expanding the left side:
$$2x - 3 + 4x - 2 + 2\sqrt{(2x - 3)(4x - 2)} \leq 6x - 5$$
Simplify:
$$6x - 5 + 2\sqrt{(2x - 3)(4x - 2)} \leq 6x - 5$$
4. **Subtract $$6x - 5$$ from both sides:**
$$2\sqrt{(2x - 3)(4x - 2)} \leq 0$$
Since square roots are non-negative, the only way this inequality holds is if:
$$\sqrt{(2x - 3)(4x - 2)} = 0$$
5. **Solve for when the product inside the root is zero:**
$$(2x - 3)(4x - 2) = 0$$
Set each factor to zero:
- $$2x - 3 = 0 \Rightarrow x = \frac{3}{2}$$
- $$4x - 2 = 0 \Rightarrow x = \frac{1}{2}$$
6. **Check which solutions are in the domain $$x \geq \frac{3}{2}$$:**
Only $$x = \frac{3}{2}$$ is valid.
7. **Verify the original inequality at $$x = \frac{3}{2}$$:**
$$\sqrt{2(\frac{3}{2}) - 3} + \sqrt{4(\frac{3}{2}) - 2} = \sqrt{3 - 3} + \sqrt{6 - 2} = 0 + 2 = 2$$
$$\sqrt{6(\frac{3}{2}) - 5} = \sqrt{9 - 5} = \sqrt{4} = 2$$
Equality holds.
8. **Conclusion:**
The inequality holds only at $$x = \frac{3}{2}$$.
**Final answer:** $$\boxed{x = \frac{3}{2}}$$
