Answer:
x ≤ 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify the equation, then isolate "x" by using reverse operations in reverse BEDMAS order.
3x + 2 ≤ 5(x-4) Distribute over the bracket by multiplying.
= 3x + 2 ≤ 5x - 20 Start isolating "x" on the left side.
= 3x + 2 - 2 ≤ 5x - 20 - 2 Subtract 2 from both sides.
= 3x ≤ 5x - 22
= 3x - 5x ≤ 5x - 22 - 5x Subtract 5x from both sides to move x to left side
= -2x ≤ -22
= -2x/-2 ≤ -22/-2 Divide both sides by -2 to isolate x
= x ≤ 11 Final answer
