Solve for x. Graph the solution.
minus
five thirdsxless than or equalsnegative 5
To solve for x, we will set up the equation:
-5/3x <= -5
To isolate x, we can multiply both sides of the inequality by -3/5. However, since we are multiplying by a negative number, the inequality sign will flip.
x >= (-5)(-3/5)
x >= 15/5
x >= 3
The solution to the inequality is x greater than or equal to 3, so we can graph this on a number line:
[3, +∞)
The shaded region on the number line includes all values of x that are greater than or equal to 3.
