Solve the inequality. Make sure to write the inequality so the x comes first. 5x -15 ≤ 5 Note: You can write ≤ like this <= You can write ≥ like this >= * 1 point

1 answer

To solve the inequality \( 5x - 15 \leq 5 \), we will first isolate \( x \).

  1. Add 15 to both sides: \[ 5x - 15 + 15 \leq 5 + 15 \] which simplifies to: \[ 5x \leq 20 \]

  2. Now, divide both sides by 5: \[ \frac{5x}{5} \leq \frac{20}{5} \] which simplifies to: \[ x \leq 4 \]

Thus, to write the inequality with \( x \) coming first, we can write:

\[ x \leq 4 \]
