Answer: x ≤ 1


5 ≤ 2x-(3x-6)
Because of the negative sign, you can distribute -1 to the terms in the parentheses.

(-1)(3x) + (-1)(-6) = -3x + 6

Now you can combine like terms:
5 ≤ 2x - 3x + 6
5 ≤ -x + 6
Move 6 to the left side by subtracting 6:
5 - 6 ≤ -x
-1 ≤ -x
Multiply both sides by -1:
1 ≥ x or x ≤ 1
