Answer:
x\geq 5

Explanation:


-5x+2\leq 27\\Subtract\\-5x\leq 25\\Divide\\x\geq 5

It's important to remember that when you divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number to flip the sign.

Hope it helps <3

Answer:

c ≥ -5

Explanation:

-5c +2 ≤ 27

Subtract 2 from each side

-5c +2-2 ≤ 27-2

-5c ≤25

Divide by -5, remembering to flip the inequality

-5c/-5 ≥25/-5

c ≥ -5
