Isolate x by adding 5: First, let's isolate x by adding 5 to both sides of the inequality.−2x−5+5≤−7+5
Solve for x: Now we have −2x≤−2.
Divide by −2: Next, we divide both sides by −2 to solve for x. Remember, when we divide by a negative number, we have to flip the inequality sign.−2x/−2≥−2/−2
Graph the solution: So, x≥1 is our solution.
Graph the solution: So, x≥1 is our solution.To graph this, we draw a number line, put a solid dot on 1 because it's 'greater than or equal to', and shade to the right since it's 'greater than'.
