Rewrite the problem so that it doesn’t look so intimidating:
.6x + 5 ≤ x – 6
Now, solve for x:
Subtract .6x from both sides to get:
5 ≤ .4x – 6
Now, add 6 to both sides to get:
11 ≤ .4x
Now, divide both sides by .4 to get the x by itself to get:
27.5 ≤ x
So that your solution is:
[x|x ≤ 27.5]
Good luck !
