To solve the inequality \(\frac{1}{3}(x + 6) \leq 5\), we can follow these steps:
-
Eliminate the fraction by multiplying both sides of the inequality by 3: \[ x + 6 \leq 15 \]
-
Isolate \(x\) by subtracting 6 from both sides: \[ x \leq 15 - 6 \] \[ x \leq 9 \]
So the solution to the inequality is: \[ x \leq 9 \]
This means that \(x\) can take any value less than or equal to 9.
