Question

What is the solution for this inequality? 5x ≤ 45

Answer 1

x ≤ 9

First you would divide each side by 5 to isolate x
Then you would have x ≤ 9 and that's it.

Answer 2

x≤9

Explanation:

We can simplify the ineqaulity by dividing both sides by 5. This is simple division:

5x≤45

(5/5)x≤(45/5)

Five goes into 5 once and into 45 9 times:

(1/1)x≤(9/1)

Therfore x if less than or equal to 9. This is the solution to the inequality.
