Math Problem Statement

The solution interval of the inequality 4x + 3 ≤ 2x + 9 is?

Solution

The inequality given is:

4x+32x+94x + 3 \leq 2x + 9

Let's solve this step-by-step:

  1. Isolate the variable terms on one side:
    Subtract 2x2x from both sides:

    4x2x+394x - 2x + 3 \leq 9

    Simplifies to:

    2x+392x + 3 \leq 9

  2. Isolate the constant term on the other side:
    Subtract 3 from both sides:

    2x62x \leq 6

  3. Solve for xx:
    Divide both sides by 2:

    x3x \leq 3

Thus, the solution interval for the inequality is:

(,3](-\infty, 3]
