To solve the inequality 5x - 2 ≤ 8, we need to isolate the variable x.
Adding 2 to both sides of the inequality, we get:
5x ≤ 10
To isolate x, we divide both sides of the inequality by 5:
x ≤ 2
Since there is a "less than or equal to" sign (≤), the point should be closed.
The shading is to the left of the number line because all the values less than or equal to 2 satisfy the inequality.
Solve this inequality:
`5x-2\le8`
Should the point be open or closed?
Where is the shading? left or right?
