Question

Solve the inequality for 5x + 9 ≤ 24

Answer 1

From the problem, we have an inequality of :

`5x+9\le24`

Subtract 9 to both sides of the inequality :

`\begin{gathered} 5x+9-9\le24-9 \\ 5x\le15 \end{gathered}`

Divide both sides by 5 :

`\begin{gathered} (5x)/(5)\le(15)/(5) \\ x\le3 \end{gathered}`

The answer is x ≤ 3
