2x - 15 \leqslant 5 \\ 2x \leqslant 20 \\ x \leqslant 10

Interval Notation: x ε ( -∞ , 10 ]

\Huge\boxed{x\leq10}

To solve for
x, you need to isolate it on one side of the equation.

Start by adding
15 to both sides.


\begin{aligned}2x-15+15&\leq5+15\\2x&\leq20\end{aligned}

Now, divide both sides by
2 for the final answer.


\begin{aligned}(2x)/(2)&\leq(20)/(2)\\x&\leq10\end{aligned}
