Question

solve the inequality. Write your answer as an inequality
4x - 5 ≤ -25
the simplified inequality is:

Answer 1

To solve the inequality \( 4x - 5 \leq -25 \), follow these steps:

1. Add 5 to both sides of the inequality:

\[
4x - 5 + 5 \leq -25 + 5
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
4x \leq -20
\]

2. Now, divide both sides by 4:

\[
\frac{4x}{4} \leq \frac{-20}{4}
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
x \leq -5
\]

So the simplified inequality is:

\[
x \leq -5
\]
