To solve the inequality
\[ \frac{2x + 1}{7} \geq \frac{x - 3}{4}, \]
we will first eliminate the fractions by finding a common denominator. The least common multiple of \(7\) and \(4\) is \(28\).
Now, multiply both sides by \(28\):
\[ 28 \cdot \frac{2x + 1}{7} \geq 28 \cdot \frac{x - 3}{4}. \]
This simplifies to:
\[ 4(2x + 1) \geq 7(x - 3). \]
Now distribute:
\[ 8x + 4 \geq 7x - 21. \]
Next, subtract \(7x\) from both sides:
\[ 8x - 7x + 4 \geq -21. \]
This simplifies to:
\[ x + 4 \geq -21. \]
Now, subtract \(4\) from both sides:
\[ x \geq -21 - 4, \]
which simplifies to:
\[ x \geq -25. \]
Thus, the solution to the inequality is:
\[ x \geq -25. \]
