2(x - 5) ≤ -16

Step 2: Solve for x

Divide 2 on both sides: x - 5 ≤ -8
Add 5 on both sides: x ≤ -3

Here we see that any value x smaller than or equal to -3 would work as a solution.

What is an interval scale and what is it used for?

koban [17]

An interval scale has measurements where the difference between values is meaningful. For example, the year 0 doesn’t imply that time didn’t exist. And similarly, a temperature of zero doesn’t mean that temperature doesn’t exist at that point. Arbitrary zeros (and the inability to calculate ratios because of it) are one reason why the ratio scale — which does have meaningful zeros — is sometimes preferred.
