Question

Solve for x.2x + 3 ≤ x + 5

Answer 1

x ≤ 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality:

`2x+3\le x+5`

First, we subtract x from both sides.

`\begin{gathered} 2x-x+3\le x-x+5 \\ x+3\le5 \end{gathered}`

Next, we subtract 3 from both sides.

`\begin{gathered} x+3-3\leqslant5-3 \\ x\leqslant2 \end{gathered}`
