Question

Solve. Collect the variable terms on the left side of the inequality.
8x-2 is less than or equal to 3x+5

Answer 1

@johnweldon1993 I think it's 5x is less than or equal to 7

Answer 2

x is less than or equal to \[\frac{ 7 }{ 5 }\]

Answer 3

is that because I have to just get the variable on the side?

Answer 4

You are correct @vshiroky But remember you need to solve for 'x' not 5x ... so you would divide both sides by 5 as crabby_patty has done...

Answer 5

ahh gotcha

Answer 6

so u are correct basically....just don't forget the last step.

Answer 7

So you had

\[\large 5x \le 7\]

Just divide both sides by 5 to get

\[\large x \le \frac{7}{5}\]
