Start with the given inequality

Divide both sides by 5 to isolate x

Divide

Answer:
So our answer is

Now let's graph the solution set

Start with the given inequality:

Set up a number line:

Now plot the point on the number line

Now pick any test point you want, I'm going to choose x=0, and test the inequality

Plug in

Since this inequality is true, we simply shade the entire portion in which contains the point x=0 using the point as the boundary.This means we shade everything to the left of the point like this:
Graph of with the shaded region in blue
note: at the point , there is an closed circle. This means the point is included from the solution set.
