Answer 1

To solve the inequality 5x - 15 ≤ 10, we can follow these steps:

1. Add 15 to both sides of the inequality:
5x - 15 + 15 ≤ 10 + 15
5x ≤ 25

2. Divide both sides of the inequality by 5:
(5x)/5 ≤ 25/5
x ≤ 5

The solution to the inequality is x ≤ 5.

On the number line, plot a closed circle at 5 (to represent that x could be equal to 5) and shade to the left of 5 to represent all the values that satisfy the inequality x ≤ 5.
