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

anonymous · Answer

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

vshiroky · Answer

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

johnweldon1993 · Answer

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...

vshiroky · Answer

ahh gotcha

anonymous · Answer

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

johnweldon1993 · Answer

So you had

$$\large 5x \le 7$$

Just divide both sides by 5 to get

$$\large x \le \frac{7}{5}$$
