Question

1) Solve ;

Answer 1

Answer:

x ≤ 7/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Expand brackets:                   3x - 15 ≤ x - 8

Subtract x from both sides:   2x - 15 ≤ -8

Add 15 to both sides:                    2x ≤ 7

Divide both sides by 2:                   x ≤ 7/2

Answer 2

Answer:

Hello There!

$\huge \dag \sf \green{question}$

$3(x - 5) \leqslant x - 8$

$\rule{200pt}{5pt}$

$\rule{200pt}{5pt}$

Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by x-5

$3x - 15 \leqslant x - 8$

Subtract x from both sides

$3x - 15 - x \leqslant 8$

Combine 2x and -x to get 2x

$2x - 15 \leqslant - 8$

Add 15 to both sides

$2x \leqslant - 8 + 15$

Add -8 and 15 to get 7

$2x \leqslant 7$

Now divide both the sides by 2

As 2 is > 0, the inequality direction remains the same.

$x \leqslant \frac{7}{2}$

$\rule{200pt}{5pt}$

Hope it helps you from my side
