The question is: (using / to symbolize a fraction)
x/6-1 less than or equal to 4/5
Fractions throw me off, I need assistance please!
Nevermind.... I figured it out!!
Sure! Solving equations involving fractions can be a bit tricky, but I can help you break it down step by step.
The given inequality is:
x/6 - 1 ≤ 4/5
To solve this inequality, we will eliminate the fraction by multiplying both sides of the inequality by a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 30 because it is the least common multiple of 6 and 5. Let's multiply both sides by 30:
30 * (x/6 - 1) ≤ 30 * (4/5)
Simplifying the equation:
5x - 30 ≤ 24
Next, we isolate the variable 'x' by adding 30 to both sides:
5x ≤ 24 + 30
5x ≤ 54
Finally, we solve for 'x' by dividing both sides of the equation by 5:
x ≤ 54/5
So the solution to the inequality x/6 - 1 ≤ 4/5 is x ≤ 10.8.
