To solve the inequality \( 5x + 8 \leq -3 \), follow these steps: 1. **Isolate the term with \( x \)**: Subtract \( 8 \) from both sides. \[ 5x + 8 - 8 \leq -3 - 8 \] This simplifies to: \[ 5x \leq -11 \] 2. **Solve for \( x \)**: Divide both sides by \( 5 \). \[ x \leq \frac{-11}{5} \] Simplifying \( \frac{-11}{5} \) gives: \[ x \leq -2.2 \] So the solution to the inequality is: \[ x \leq -2.2 \]

To solve the inequality \( 5x + 8 \leq -3 \), follow these steps:

Isolate the term with \( x \): Subtract \( 8 \) from both sides.

\[ 5x + 8 - 8 \leq -3 - 8 \]

This simplifies to:

\[ 5x \leq -11 \]
Solve for \( x \): Divide both sides by \( 5 \).

\[ x \leq \frac{-11}{5} \]

Simplifying \( \frac{-11}{5} \) gives:

\[ x \leq -2.2 \]

So the solution to the inequality is:

\[ x \leq -2.2 \]
