distribute -7 because of math
-21-56x+5x≤1-62x
add like terms because you aint chaingin nothing
-21-51x≤1-62x
add 62x to both sides (addition property of equality, where a=a and b=b, a+b=a+b) and also (addative inverse, a+(-a)=0) that turns the -62x to 0
-21+11x≤1
add 21 to both sides (additiona proerty of equality and addativeinverse)
11x≤22
divide both sides by 11 (division property of equality, if a=a and b=b, then a/b=a/b)
x≤2
