Answer:


\displaystyle \large{x \leqslant 15}

Explanation:

We are given the Inequality:


\displaystyle \large{2x + 12 \leqslant 42}

To solve an Inequality, solve it like an equation: We isolate x-term.

First, subtract 12 both sides.


\displaystyle \large{2x + 12 - 12 \leqslant 42 - 12} \\ \displaystyle \large{2x \leqslant 30}

Then divide both sides by 2.


\displaystyle \large{ (2x)/(2) \leqslant (30)/(2) }

Divide the like term. 2 divides 2 = 1; 2 divides 30 = 15.


\displaystyle \large{ \frac{ \cancel{2}x}{ \cancel{2}} \leqslant \frac{ \cancel{30}}{ \cancel{2}} } \\ \displaystyle \large{ ( 1x)/( 1) \leqslant (15)/(1) }

Generally, we do not recommend writing 1 as a denominator as we would just cancel 1 anyways.

That goes the same to 1x which we can simplify to x.


\displaystyle \large \boxed{ x \leqslant 15}

Let me know if you have any questions!
