Answer:

s ≤ 5

Explanation:

We are given the ineuqality of 5(s + 3) - 13 ≤ 7 and are asked to solve it. To do so, we need to isolate s.

First, get rid of the parenthesis by distributing the 5 to s and 3:

5(s + 3)

(s(5) + 3(5))

5s + 15 - 13 ≤ 7

Combine like terms:

5s + 2 ≤ 7

Now get the number with x alone by subtracting 2 from both sides:

5s ≤ 5

Now get s alone by dividing both sides with 5 :

s ≤ 5
