Answer:


x\geq -4

If you're struggling with questions like these, I'd recommend searching how to do algebra on your search engine. Failing that, figure out how to ask the right questions/search the correct things. For instance, this question requires you to know how to "solve an inequality", so search for that if you're still unsure.

Explanation:

Assuming the question is this:


5-2x\leq13

All we have to do is isolate x on one side and work its coefficient (The number beside it) down to one (Making it just x rather than 2x):


5\leq 13+2x
5-13\leq 2x
-8\leq 2x
-4\leq x

So, the inequality now looks like:


x\geq -4
