2x+1\leq -5\times 3
Multiply both sides by 3. Since 3 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
2x+1\leq -15
Multiply -5 and 3 to get -15.
2x\leq -15-1
Subtract 1 from both sides.
2x\leq -16
Subtract 1 from -15 to get -16.
x\leq \frac{-16}{2}
Divide both sides by 2. Since 2 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
x\leq -8
Divide -16 by 2 to get -8.
