Solve the inequality. Please help! Details in question

OpenStudy (drewkatski):

\[\frac{ 2x-3 }{ 5 }-\frac{ x }{ 3 } \le 2\]

OpenStudy (drewkatski):

Thanks in advance

Miracrown (miracrown):

Do you have an idea about how to approach it?

Miracrown (miracrown):

What do we need to multiply both sides of inequality by, in order to get rid of both fractions in one strike?

Miracrown (miracrown):

The least common denominator is what we need to multiply both sides of the fractions by. So what is the least common denominator of the two fractions?

OpenStudy (drewkatski):

15

OpenStudy (drewkatski):

I tried eliminating but I couldnt find stuff that works

@Miracrown

OpenStudy (p0sitr0n):

multiply both sides by 5*3= by 15 gives 6x-9-5x<=30 x-9<=30 x<=39

OpenStudy (p0sitr0n):

multiply both sides by 5*3= by 15 gives 6x-9-5x<=30 x-9<=30 x<=39

OpenStudy (drewkatski):
