Answer:

The solution for the inequality is
x \leq 6.

Explanation:

Consider the provided inequality.


2x - 1 \leq x + 5

Subtract x from both the sides.


2x -x- 1 \leq x-x + 5


x- 1 \leq 5

Add 1 to both the sides.


x- 1+1 \leq 5+1


x \leq 6

Hence the solution for the inequality is
x \leq 6.
