Plz help me solve this inequality step by step.
17x+5≤ 70

Question

Extrinix · Answer

Ok so, first off let's start by thinking of it as an equation, not an inequality

You must get x by itself

$17x+5 \le 70$   Now to start off we subtract 5 from each side
$17x \le 65$           Now let's divide both sides by 17
$x \le \hspace{5px}\approx 3.82$

Now, because we divided, we have to switch the sign, making it this
$x \ge 3.82$

May I correct myself*

It would be $x \le 3.82$ because it was divided by a positive number, not a negative.
