Answer 1

To solve this inequality, we need to isolate the variable x on one side of the inequality sign.

- First, let's subtract 13 from both sides: -2x + 13 - 13 ≤ 3 - 13
This simplifies to: -2x ≤ -10

- Next, let's divide both sides by -2. Keep in mind that when dividing by a negative number, we need to flip the inequality sign.
Dividing both sides by -2, we get: x ≥ -10/-2
Simplifying this, we get: x ≥ 5

So the solution to the inequality is x ≥ 5.
