You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Here's how you can check your work:
You think x%3C=3 is the solution set to 7x%2B5%3C=+5x-2
Plop 3 in to see if there's an equality
7%283%29+%2B+5+=5%283%29-2
21+%2B5+=15-2
26+=+13 Yeah...not so much true there.

Go back and look at your work. There's probably a negative sign error in there somewhere.
