Answer:
(-\infty, -4]

Curved parenthesis at negative infinity

Square bracket at -4

====================================================

Work Shown:


5(x+4) \le 0 \\\\x+4 \le (0)/(5) \\\\x+4 \le 0 \\\\x \le 0-4 \\\\x \le -4 \\\\

The last inequality shown above is the same as saying
-\infty < x \le -4

Converting this to interval notation leads to the final answer of
(-\infty , -4]

Note the use of a square bracket at -4 to include this endpoint. We can never include either infinity, so we always use a parenthesis for either infinity.
