I need your help!

\[5+2x-2\le12+8x-3x\]

Answer 3

@iGreen

Answer 4

Combine like terms on the right side, what do you get?

Answer 5

Oh, and on the left side also.

Answer 6

Can you do that?

Answer 7

Sorry i was distracted

Answer 8

can you explain to me how i can combine like terms? never understood that.

Answer 9

Like terms are terms that have the same variable.

like 2y + 3y, you can combine these to get 5y.

However, you can't combine things such as 2 + 5x, 4x + 8y, etc.

Answer 10

So on the left we have:

5 - 2

and on the right:

8x - 3x

Answer 11

Okay

Answer 12

Can you simplify those?

Answer 13

Yes

Answer 14

3 on the left and 5x on the right

Answer 15

Yep, so we have:

\(\sf 2x + 3 \le 12 + 5x\)

Now subtract 2x to both sides.

Answer 16

so \[3\le12+3x\]
