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
