Answer:

x ≤ 2

Explanation:

Maybe you're trying to solve ...

5x - 18 ≤ -8

As with any 2-step equation, add the opposite of the constant that is on the same sides as the variable term.

5x -18 +18 ≤ -8 +18

5x ≤ 10 . . . . . . . . . . . simplify

Now, divide both sides by the coefficient of the variable.

5x/5 ≤ 10/5

x ≤ 2 . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify

Additional comment

If your comparison was < instead of ≤, use that (<) for your final answer. The same symbol is used throughout, for this problem.
