3/7x + 1/7 1 ≤ 6/7

1 answer

To solve the inequality, we can begin by simplifying the expression on the left side:

3/7x + 1/7 ≤ 6/7

To combine the fractions on the left side, we need a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 7:

(3/7)x + 1/7 ≤ 6/7

Now that the fractions have a common denominator, we can add the numerators:

(3x + 1)/7 ≤ 6/7

To get rid of the fractions, we can multiply both sides of the inequality by 7:

7 * (3x + 1)/7 ≤ (6/7) * 7

This simplifies to:

3x + 1 ≤ 6

Next, we can subtract 1 from both sides to isolate the term with x:

3x + 1 - 1 ≤ 6 - 1

This simplifies to:

3x ≤ 5

Finally, we can divide both sides of the inequality by 3 to solve for x:

(3x)/3 ≤ 5/3

This simplifies to:

x ≤ 5/3

Therefore, the solution to the inequality is x ≤ 5/3.
