Answer:

x ≤ 13

Explanation:

Let's sort out the brackets first, expand them.

3(x-5) --> 3x - 15

Now our equation looks like this.

3x - 15 ≤ 24

Since we are solving the inequality, let's get the x on its own. Add the 15 to remove it from one side.

3x - 15 ≤ 24

+15 +15

3x ≤ 39

We are still trying to get x on its own so let's divide the 3, to remove it.

3x ≤ 39

÷3 ÷3

x ≤ 13

And that is the final answer!

Answer:


3(x - 5) \leqslant 24 \\ 3x - 15 \leqslant 24 \\ 3x \leqslant 24 + 15 \\ 3x \leqslant 39 \\ x \leqslant (39)/(3) \\ x \leqslant 13
