To solve the inequality 5x-2 ≤ 5, we need to isolate the variable x.
First, we add 2 to both sides of the inequality:
5x ≤ 7
Next, we divide both sides by 5 to solve for x:
x ≤ 7/5
The solved inequality is x ≤ 7/5.
To graph this inequality, we plot a closed dot at x = 7/5 since it includes the equal sign. Then, we shade to the left of the dot.
The graph should look like this:
-∞---•---→
