SOLUTION: I cant get the solution correct: 3/5 (x-2)-1/4 (2x-7) ≤ 3 I tried mulitplying by the LCM 20 to get rid of the fractions and then this is how it goes from here: 12(x-2)

Question 783449: I cant get the solution correct: 3/5 (x-2)-1/4 (2x-7) ≤ 3
I tried mulitplying by the LCM 20 to get rid of the fractions and then this is how it goes from here:
12(x-2)-5(2x-7)≤ 60
12x-24-10x+35 ≤ 60
2x-11 ≤ 60
+11 +11
2x ≤ 71
2x/2 ≤ 71/2
x ≤ 71/2

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
12x-24-10x+35 ≤ 60


2x-11 ≤ 60...That's the mistake...35 is positive, 24 is negative, the result is + 11.


2x+11 <= 60


2x <= 49


x <= 49/2
