-7x+5 less than or equal to 6

Question

-7x+5 ≤6

Answer 1

-7x + 5 <= 6 (I cannot make the combined less than or equal to sign).

 

Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation

-7x +5 -5 <= 6 - 5

-7x <= 1

 

Divide both sides if the equation by -7 and switch < to > when dividing by a negative number.

 

Then your answer is  x >= -1/7.

Answer 2

 

  -7x + 5 ≤ 6

       -7x ≤ 6 - 5

       -7x ≤ 1

-7x/(-7) ≥ 1/(-7)     NOTE:  when multiplying or dividing by a negative, reverse the inequality symbol

          x ≥ -1/7
