To solve the inequality 5 + 2(x-4) + 3x ≤ 12, we need to simplify and isolate the x variable.
First, distribute the 2 across the parentheses: 5 + 2x - 8 + 3x ≤ 12.
Combine like terms: 5x -3 ≤ 12.
Add 3 to both sides: 5x ≤ 15.
Divide by 5 on both sides: x ≤ 3.
Thus, the solution to the inequality is x ≤ 3.
5+2(x−4)+3x≤12
