Question

X - (5 - 3x) ≤ 2x - 1

Answer 1

x≤ 2

Explanation:

x - (5 - 3x) ≤ 2x - 1

We want to solve for x

Distribute the minus sign.

x - 5 + 3x ≤ 2x - 1

Combine like terms.

4 x - 5 ≤ 2 x - 1

Subtract 2x from each side.

4 x-2x - 5 ≤ 2 x-2x - 1

2x-5≤ - 1

Add 5 to each side.

2x-5+5≤ - 1+5

2x≤ 4

Divide each side by 2.

2x/2≤ 4/2

x≤ 2
