To solve the inequality \(2x - 10 \leq 3\), follow these steps:
-
Add 10 to both sides of the inequality: \[ 2x - 10 + 10 \leq 3 + 10 \] This simplifies to: \[ 2x \leq 13 \]
-
Divide both sides by 2: \[ \frac{2x}{2} \leq \frac{13}{2} \] This simplifies to: \[ x \leq \frac{13}{2} \] or \[ x \leq 6.5 \]
The solution to the inequality \(2x - 10 \leq 3\) is: \[ x \leq 6.5 \]
This means \(x\) can take any value less than or equal to \(6.5\).
