Question

Solve for x.

2x+3≤x−5
 


x≤8

x≤−2

x≤−8

x≤2

Answer 1

For this question the answer is : x ≤ − 8.

Explanation:

For this question we have to solve for "x".

Now to solve for x we have to simplify both the sides of the inequality.

Then we have to isolate the variable.

And then we'll get our answer as : x ≤ − 8

Answer 2

x ≤ -8

Explanation:

To solve for x in the inequality given , we will follow the steps below;

2x+3≤x−5

First, subtract x from both-side of the inequality

2x- x+3 ≤ x-x−5

x + 3 ≤ −5

The next step to take is to subtract 3 from both-side of the equation

x + 3- 3 ≤ −5-3

(On the left-hand side of the inequality, 3 will be subtracted from 3, this gives us zero hence leaving us with just x, while on the right-hand side of the inequality three will be subtracted from negative five, this will result to negative eight)

x ≤ -8
