Elrich planted 7 seeds from each of x different seed packets in his garden. To plant these seeds, he had to remove 15 plants. that were already in the garden. Taking into account the plants he removed and the seeds he planted, he expected to have less than equal to 48 plants in the garden.

The inequality :


7x-15\leq48

Simplify for x:


7x-15\leq48
