Question

Solve the inequality.

x – 5 ≤ –6





x ≤ –11


x ≤ –1


x ≤ 11

Answer 1

To solve the inequality \( x - 5 \leq -6 \), we can isolate \( x \) by adding 5 to both sides:

\[
x - 5 + 5 \leq -6 + 5
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
x \leq -1
\]

So the solution to the inequality is:

\[
x \leq -1
\]

Thus, the correct answer is:

**\( x \leq -1 \)**.
