Question 184532
{{{a+(a-3)<=(a-8)-(a+3)}}} Start with the given inequality



{{{a+a-3<=a-8-a-3}}} Distribute



{{{2a-3<=-11}}} Combine like terms.



{{{2a<=-11+3}}} Add 3 to both sides.



{{{2a<=-8}}} Combine like terms.



{{{a<=-8/2}}} Divide both sides by 2 to isolate "a"



{{{a<=-4}}} Reduce.



So the solution is {{{a<=-4}}}
