Solve x- 1/3 ≤ 1/2

1 answer

To solve the inequality, we first need to get the variable (x) on one side of the inequality sign.

Given the inequality x - 1/3 ≤ 1/2, we can add 1/3 to both sides to isolate the variable on the left side:

x - 1/3 + 1/3 ≤ 1/2 + 1/3

This simplifies to:

x ≤ 1/2 + 1/3

To add the fractions, we need to get a common denominator of 6:

x ≤ 3/6 + 2/6

This simplifies to:

x ≤ 5/6

Therefore, the solution to the inequality x - 1/3 ≤ 1/2 is x ≤ 5/6.
