Answer:

a ≤ 7

Explanation:

An inequality is solved just like how you would for an equation with an equal sign, except that the direction of the sign changes when the inequality is divided by -1 (or any negative number).

5a +13 ≤ 48

Subtract 13 on both sides:

5a 48 -13

5a ≤ 35

Divide both sides by 5:

a ≤ 35 ÷5

a ≤ 7
