Solve\newline2(a+11)3a5 -2(a+11) \leq 3 a-5

Full solution

Q. Solve\newline2(a+11)3a5 -2(a+11) \leq 3 a-5
  1. Distribute 2-2: Distribute 2-2 across (a+11)(a+11).\newline2a223a5-2a - 22 \leq 3a - 5
  2. Add 2a2a: Add 2a2a to both sides to get all aa terms on one side.\newline225a5-22 \leq 5a - 5
  3. Add 55: Add 55 to both sides to isolate the term with aa.\newline175a-17 \leq 5a
  4. Divide by 55: Divide both sides by 55 to solve for aa.a175a \geq -\frac{17}{5}
