Answer:
x ≤ 7/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Expand brackets: 3x - 15 ≤ x - 8
Subtract x from both sides: 2x - 15 ≤ -8
Add 15 to both sides: 2x ≤ 7
Divide both sides by 2: x ≤ 7/2

Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by x-5
[tex]3x - 15 \leqslant x - 8 [/tex]
Subtract x from both sides
[tex]3x - 15 - x \leqslant 8[/tex]
Combine 2x and -x to get 2x
[tex]2x - 15 \leqslant - 8[/tex]
Add 15 to both sides
[tex]2x \leqslant - 8 + 15[/tex]
Add -8 and 15 to get 7
[tex]2x \leqslant 7[/tex]
Now divide both the sides by 2
As 2 is > 0, the inequality direction remains the same.
[tex]x \leqslant \frac{7}{2} \\ [/tex]

Hope it helps you from my side
