Question

How do I start this I'm stuck on this question i don't want an answer I just want to know what the first step to solve it is 5x ≤ 15

Answer 1

Hi there!

We are asked to solve the following inequality:

• 
  `\sf{5x\leqslant15}`

The first (and only) step is to divide both sides by 5.

• 
  `\sf{\cfrac{5x}{5}\leqslant\cfrac{15}{5}}`

Simplify:

• 
  `\sf{x\leqslant3}`

Therefore, x ≤ 3.
