Math Problem Statement

3x−7≤ −22

Solution

The inequality you're working with is:

3x7223x - 7 \leq -22

Let's solve for xx:

  1. Add 7 to both sides to isolate the term with xx:

3x7+722+73x - 7 + 7 \leq -22 + 7

3x153x \leq -15

  1. Divide both sides by 3:

x153x \leq \frac{-15}{3}

x5x \leq -5

Thus, the solution is:

x5x \leq -5
