Chapter 6: Problem 9

Solve the inequality. $$5 x+12 \leq 62$$

Short Answer

Expert verified
The solution to the inequality is \(x \leq 10\).

Step by step solution

01

Subtract 12 from both sides

Subtract 12 from each side of the inequality in order to isolate the term with x. This results in the new inequality \(5x \leq 50\)
02

Divide by 5

Now, divide each side of the inequality by 5 to solve for x. This gives us the solution \(x \leq 10\)
