Im supposed to find the solution to this? a +5<-17 the < has a line under it help please

I have never heard of a school subject called "help."

Please type your subject in the School Subject box. Any other words are likely to delay responses from a teacher who knows that subject well.

≤ means "less than or equal to"

Treat like any equation.

I hope this helps.

To find the solution to the inequality equation a + 5 ≤ -17, you need to solve for the variable "a" by isolating it on one side of the equation.

Start by subtracting 5 from both sides of the equation:
a + 5 - 5 ≤ -17 - 5
a ≤ -22

So, the solution to the inequality equation is a ≤ -22.
